Slight correction:  DGL is a concept that is associated with the
old IrisGL;  there is no such thing as DGL with OpenGL.  Instead,
in the X world, what is needed to remotely display OpenGL is the "GLX
extensions" on the server (display machine).  And there are PC X 
emulators that have at least announced the intent to support these,
though I don't remember which they are;  I think Hummingbird is one.
Some may be available already.
