The standard GUI subsystem for Posix (UNIX / Linux) is called X and it already 
uses a networked protocol.  The X library and all of the toolkits layered 
above it sends graphics commands and listens for input events (keyboard input, 
pointer movement and clicks) through a socket (either a local UNIX socket or a 
Tcp/Ip socket).  The actual display / keyboard / mouse is encapsulated by 
somethine called an X server, which is just a program that runs on the other 
side of the socket from the X library.

It is possible to install an "X Server" application under MS-Windows and set
up this server to "log in" to a Posix (UNIX/Linux) machine (connecting to one
of xdm, gdm, kdm, lightdm, etc.). Then applications can be run on the
UNIX/Linux machine with the local machine as the display/keyboard/mouse for
the UNIX/Linux application. There are various ways to restrict a user as to
what applications they are allowed to use.
