No. as was mentioned, xmove is a solution to this, but it sucks. > If the physical connection bewteen the X server and the X client is > broken and restored can the logical connection be restored ?

It'll just hang for a moment. like most TCP/IP applications. of course, if the physical link is down for more than a minute or so, you'll likely lose it. > If I ran VMWare/windoze just for some win services / networking etc and > didn't care to see the output, could I run it without a X server ? as a > service ? Thats up to VMWare - I dont think it has a no-display mode. You could of course, run a vnc server, and tell VMWare to display there. then when you needed it, you could use xvncviewer to look at it. > Can I record / playback some user input on an X server ? You could, theoretically, record the data stream between an X server and the clients, but that would be ugly to get working.
