I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a while and was wondering
if anyone knew.
Basically, I want to know how (or if its even possible, though I'm thinking
it is) to change the X display of a running application. A couple
possibilities I was thinking for it:
1)running ssh with X forewarding on and wanting to keep an application
running after shutting down tghe connection (i.e. by shifting it to the
local X session on the machine its running on).
2)seeing the gui of a specific app using ssh with X forwarding enabled and
then shifting the gui back to its normal X display before closing the ssh
connection.
3)With a vnc server, keeping an app open after closing the vnc instance by
shifting the app off the vnc desktop to a local X session.
4)with more than one X session running locally, shifting apps between them.
etc, anyways, anyone know how to do this? I was thinking it might be hard to
do because in most cases that I mentioned it involves different login
sessions, but still, perhaps it's possible.
thanks,
Aaron
