You are describing FreeNX. Disconnecting though doesn't quite act the same as screen. Rather it suspends all X-using processes. But other than that, this is exactly how FreeNX works. You can pull across whole desktops or just individual apps. And it's way fast compared to X over ssh or VNC. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
