Would you kindly clarify? Did you mean Xterm?

I believe they meant X.org, the graphical stack used by most graphical Linux systems.

It's not though. You have to fiddle around with ports and servers and environment variables.

But a drawing API is clearly not the way modern graphics works best. What would be really cool is a terminal that supported low latency streaming video. Then you can do proper GUI apps using any rendering system they want and it will properly integrate with ssh.
