Allow the user to choose between adding a local application to the menu or an application from a remote host. After making this choice, the user should browse to point to the application, either via file or fish KIO, depending on the choice between local or remote app.

We have to make the distinction here: do you want to run an application in a 
remote host and see its output? Or do you want to run an application that is 
stored in a remote host?
Comment 2 Dik Takken 2003-06-21 16:14:06 UTC 
Personally, I would like to be able to run an application that is stored on a remote host 
and tunnel X11 over SSH to my local machine. I use this a lot because we share 
applications/computer power via the network and I would like to be able to start remote 
apps from the menu without having to play with ssh. 
 
I never heard about running local apps remotely though... I assume this will only work 
when the machines/linux versions are binary compatible? It would sound more useful to 
me if you can have a local application pop-up remotely, like message dialogs. That would 
be real nice for system admins but a bit more difficult to set up.
