waypipe works. Instead of doing `ssh -X user@host <command>` I do `waypipe ssh user@host <command>`.

Could be faster, but it does work.

How is it compared to X11 forwarding?

Well to my surprise, waypipe seems to be faster, especially when it comes to input latency and such.

I assumed it was a bit slow because of the long startup lag; but it seems it's mostly because of my slow (WiFi) network, and is even worse with X forwarding.

I just tried opening the same (simple) application through waypipe and through X forwarding, and using waypipe it's actually a lot more usable.

(Using waypipe 0.9.0-1 as packaged in Debian).
