Chris has it correct, which often seems bass-ackwards to the way people
think of client/server stuff. The X server is what's running on the

I'm coming in late to the conversation, but I absolutely agree that
while it's easier and more secure to remotely display X audio apps over
ssh, the processing power is often unacceptably high.

Unless our terminologies are reversed: I usually
refer to the X "server"
side to be the remote, and the "display client" to be the "local".
My
apologies if we're talking about it from opposite sides.
The X server is what you have on your machine. It handles display
requests from client applications (possibly run remotely).
At least, that's my limited understanding of how it's meant to work.
