I have used both CDE and Gnome (well, attempted to use it ;-) over vnc.
The difference is, ahem, very noticeable allright.

I am not sure what you mean here - bitmap themes are generally going to
be bandwidth hogs.  Just adding the panel to the set of apps using the
bitmaps doesn't seem to be a big additional hit.  I think that this is a
good reason to make the default theme a non-bitmap one though.

But if GTK apps are already using the bitmaps, I don't see much
performance value in being inconsistent with respect to the panel.
