Am I the only one would wants to scream SPICE since the beginning of
this discussion?

We could have a virtualization-free userspace SPICE server and I
believe that could be an excellent replacement to VNC, with
significantly better performance and features (stuff like sound,
anyone?).

Richard, you're even specifying virtualization! SPICE is already here!

rootless remote apps, ie Wayland network clients, that's a need I can
understand. But with my near-to-zero knowledge about Wayland, I don't
see why we couldn't do that.
