::: Ok, but I think the big reason irssi uses a terminal, rather than a windowing environment (gtk or whatever), for display purposes, is backwards compatability? If the issue is proxying, you can use socks over your ssh connection. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 12:59, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
:::: I use a terminal-mode IRC client (as opposed to a GUI one such as XChat) for detachable sessions, speed and portability. While detachable, VNC, nx and RDP would all be slower than a terminal over SSH (I contend this would be true of any flexible remote console involving raster imagery), and I can find a terminal emulator for whatever platform I'm using. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 13:57, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
::::: Ok, but some (perhaps most) of the current terminal control implementations, here, on Rosetta, do not support that kind of terminal. But also, if I were building the kind of application you are now describing, from scratch, and I wanted to support use by a lot of people, I think I would implement it to support ajaxy web browsers (mostly on localhost). --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 15:47, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
