Sorry, but the question is completely out of scope for me. Kolab is designed 
to allow disconnected work which is one of my most important criterias. 
Working offline is already possible with Kontact resp. with the Kroupware 
client.
Your proposed X11 and VNC solutions work online only. When I'm online, then 
I can use the web client as well at less costs for hardware, installation, 
network load.

In fact, the client situation for Kolab isn't as good as one could think. I 
didn't see any progress in Mozilla Calendar or other clients which 
discussed possible support for Kolab. Too sad that the Horde based web 
frontend is only public available with the limited functionality contained 
in the October snapshot. But as I wrote I'm myself using Kontact and this 
is a really realiable piece of software for my needs.

Andreas
