Because you don't need a local running X server. You need just a X server running somewhere. > What good is konqueror if you can't run it?

At work I often run applications like Openoffice.org or gimp on a different computer, which is faster than my notebook. But I since nobody sits in front of this, it doesn't have a X server installed.
