Hi all,
1. When working locally (KDE desktop), does KDE renders into local X server via UDP port 6000, or it uses DRI, or some other means ? -in short, does it uses loopback networking?
No, by default X never uses a network connection when the connection is to the local machine. It is done over a socket
In fact, by default, X doesn't listen to any network interface at all, that's something you have to enable manually
2. Does X protocol allows 1 "X client" application to be rendered on two X servers on two terminals at once?
I don't think there is anything built into the protocol to handle that, but in principle it should be possible to write something like an X proxy that sends the displays to multiple x servers. kind of like an X multiplexer
I have heard that NoMachine's NX 3.0 (new X protocol) can handle it, which means, that future FreeNX server (included with openSUSE) will also be able to do it.
