As far as I understand all of these go through ssh (with ssh redirecting
X/gtk+ apps). Do you know if the problem is confined to ssh or is it a
general network latency problem? If you set up some other kind of server
(web?) and try to reach it - will you see slowness?

If you connect the laptop with a cable, do you still experience the problem?
What if you change the wireless channel?

Obviously, these are not solutions, but experimenting may help you focus on
network vs. general network configuration vs. ssh configuration, etc.
