#3121: Running X11 version over high latency network is painfully slow.
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  jlnance       |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new           |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)  |    Version:  2.2.0 
 Keywords:  X11           |    Pending:  0     
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Running the X11 (gtk) version of pidgin on one machine while utilizing an
 X server on a remote machine is painfully slow if there is significant
 latency in the network connection between the client and server machines.
 For example, when at work, I would like to log into my home machine via
 ssh, run pidgin on my home machine and forward the X connection back to
 the work machine.  This does actually work, but is so slow as to be
 completely useless.

 In order to help debug this problem, I wrote the attached program which
 delays X11 traffic.  Documentation is in the programs comments, but
 basically you run it as:

 # xhost +localhost
 # xdelay -exec pidgin

 Notice how difficult pidgin is with this amount of delay.
