What X sends is more like instructions on how the application would like
things displayed, as opposed to a bitmap/changes. So it is both a change in
the content on the wire, as well as a change in where the actual display is
generated. It's kid of like this (Hopefully I'll keep from wrapping):
Case X:
App code --- X commands on wire --> Display code : Display
Case ICA:
Application code and Display rendering --- ICA on Wire : Display
X is much more chatty on the wire (requires more bandwidth) than ICA for the
typical user.

Chaps, I have heard several people describe the ICA connection as the
windows answer to X. I personally don't think this is correct as I
understood that the ICA session is simply sending bitmap screen changes as
opposed to X which I understand sends screen drawing commands??
Any help much appreciated as usual...
