Excellent little script. I have been using a hacked jumble of scripts to use my home server over a ssh tunnel and vnc. This is much more efficient for my uses and tons snappier than sending raw X displays over to my tablet. Although I do not have a good screen keyboard option to enter text, I do find it useful for remote and home stuff. Some fun and useful things I've done with it:
Send xsane over to the tablet to acquire images from a networked scanner.
Used scan2pdf to assemble a document and drop it on my tabler via sshfs
Print openoffice docs off my tablet (by using snx to use my server to open docs on my tabler via a sshfs mount
Ran VirtualBox with winxp and sent the display over to the tablet (this was for fun but actually worked quite well)
Ran picasa3 via wine on the tablet and sorted photos.
