Remote access to graphical interface, Wayland/RDP?

I am new to this Wayland stuff, but I have at least figured out that ssh -X does not do the expected thing any longer. I did some listless searching and found some mention of merged RDP over Wayland (I think that's the way it should be, or is it the other way around?). Anyway, I happily tried firing up a Windows XP RDP client and targeted it at the Jolla's IP. No dice - well, that would have been to good to be true anyway!

So, has anyone figured out this how this newfangled jalopy works?

Edit: What I really would hope for, even cooler than RDP-support, would be direct rendering on the remote device by the toolkit (i.e. Qt5 in this case). I saw that mentioned on some forum, though only as a "this is how Wayland is meant to work"-comment. Does any Wayland proficient person know if anyone actually implemented anything like that? Can it be ported/used on Sailfish/Qt5?

Update: I think this will help users to promote Jolla in various forums such as LUG, Hackathons, Semianrs, etc. Added tablet tag as this will help as promotion material for anyone who availed the perk to buy it in lots.
