Hi guys, I'm rather new to this mailing list and to the X server.
I was wandering if there was a way to redirect the DISPLAY of an application after the application is run. I try to explain better: my problem is that I login remotly from computer 'home' to computer 'office'. This means that 'home' is the X server and 'office' is the X client. Then I want to run an application on 'office' and logout from 'home' without killing the application. "So what?", you would say: "use nohup!". My problem is that the application I want to run has a GUI, and even if I run it with 'nohup' I get the window on the display 'home:0.0'. When logging out, the GUI window (on 'home') is closed by the X server, and the application on 'office' experiences the same sad destiny. The problem would be solved if I could, after running the application and using the GUI, say something like 'setenv DISPLAY office:0.0' and send the window back to 'office'. I know this is probably not possible because in my example 'office' is only an X client, and what I'm suggesting requires some communication between the X server on 'home' and the X server on 'office', the existence of which I'm not aware of, but is there some other way to solve the problem? Thank you!
