Some disadvantages I see with this solution are:
- you have to have a running X server on the remote machine. There are X
servers for windows, but it is much easier to install the small TightVNC
client on those machines
- if the X server gets killed I _assume_ the client (squeak) dies with a
"connection with X server lost" fatal error (I don't know if the X
display plugin catches this error). This does not happen if you use VNC
and kill the VNC client
- you have to tell squeak where to find the X server. If your remote
machine gets its address via DHCP you might need to change this
everytime. With VNC you just connect to VNC server or squeak.

I found RFB to be a very good alternative.
