If we are talking about just jpilot, you could always just copy the $HOME/.jpilot directories using scp or rsync.
That's a thought that I had while lying in bed this morning and I think it may well satisfy my needs. I can schedule rsync to copy to and from my work system at appropriate times.
Have you thought about getting broadband, Latency is a pain but its bandwidth that really counts for jpilot usage as I have used ssh tunnelled X11 applications from the UK at many sites in Europe. If you have a laptop you could use the free wireless broadband at the east oxford community centre.
I have broadband! I still don't find that jPilot is really usable.
Have you selected a gtk theme with little colour? Have you considered using just 8 bits per pixel colour depth,
Also have you thought of recompiling gtk as I believe toolkit has some support (like motif) for passing only the API calls across the network rather than the X11 commands.
I'm not all that flexible at the remote end as it's a Sun Solaris system. Which 'end' affects this when selecting the gtk theme? (By remote end I mean the place where I want to use jPilot).
