The difference is "designed to be" and "can be". It can be run over the net,
but LibGGI function usually return an error code or other return values
(which usually noone ever checks ;-).

This gives horrible performance over high-latency links, except if you
decide not to give back errors for functions that usually don't fail and
maybe buffer up requests to reduce latency and transfer overhead.
