Some objects can't be distributed. Most notably objects that have to
interact with the window manager or do any kind of image processing.
The data in those objects are accessed directly and must exist in the
address space of the local machine.
... and when I wrote "machine" I really meant "process."

In general, view objects must be local. Data model and control

... to that end, if you really do need to "send UI" via DO, why not
simply send a "view descriptor" object and let the local app construct
an appropriate view itself?
My aging brain cells tell me that someone already did this, or
something similar. Search the archives. I vaguely remember
running across some code that someone posted for a distributed
Cocoa control view.
