hook up GUI to remote RPC?

I've got a few headless boxes I'm setting up for seeding and was wondering - can I hook up the GTK version on my desktop to the RPC interface on the remote systems?

The web interface is OK but I prefer the feel of the GTK app.

No.

But you can do it with the Qt version (Transmission-Qt which is in a separate package in Linux distributions). Just use the "remote session", and if you want to connect to all of your headless boxes, then use a different configuration for each (i.e. a different parameter -g <config-dir> for each instance, running one instance of the application for each daemon).

There are also several 3rd party frontends listed on the main page, however most of them look like uTorrent or more traditional clients, they don't follow transmissions minimal look.

Can this be done with the Mac version? It's not GTK or QT as far as I understand.
