firstly you have reversed the terminology:
the xclient is where the program runs
the xserver is where the monitor is attached

Drawing a line only sends the coords across the network. The rasterizing is 
done in the monitor (xserver) end.

An image compositing program like krita would composit the images in the 
program (on the xclient) and only send the composited image over the network 
to the xserver. But it could also (for simpler cases) be done by sending each 
imagelayer through the network and composit on the xserver.
