Yeah, it's been pretty abstract.  And mostly unrelated to VNC.  

However, there's a strong intuition that there is an easy generalization
here: just make remote object references behave like local ones.  The
problem is, unfortunately, that it doesn't work when you look at the
next level of details.  Well, *I* think it doesn't work, and others
disagree.  :)

By the way, the paper that someone recommended at Sun is very good:
