I think you can do this with a linux machine using X and SSH port
forwarding (the -X or -Y option, but see the security warnings in the
man page).
You could probably also use Windows remote desktop.

That said, I have never been particularly happy with remote desktop
usage in recent times, even with fast connections, but it might be
worth a try.   I suspect that developers no longer care much about
minimizing the traffic between the windowing system and the app.
