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.
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).
I think it depends whether gtk is aware that it is runnning remotely, in which case things are optimal, and it will look the same as your local applications, and if its not it will be in the style of the remote host.
I am one of the people who thinks that remote X11 is a very good, particularly for abstraction. By the way its only second hand the Gtk can do this, I know Motif can.
