 There's xmove, but it's a bit buggy.  It's a great idea though, I wish
 someone would make it work better.

This is great!  I spent quite a while figuring out how to get it to work
(there isn't a great deal available on the Internet, which is a real
pity).  When I asked for a screen for X I really didn't quite expect
that is exactly what I'd get.

  I think I might try and figure out how this works in detail and have a
go at hacking together a HOWTO or brief tutorial.

  Thanks very much,

X11 forwarding (with ``screen'' option)?

2004-02-07 Thread Lewis Thompson 
Hi,

I'm experimenting with X11 forwarding and I have it working so I can ssh
to my server and fire up an application just great.  This is forwarded
to my laptop and works fine.

  However, I want to run something that is mostly going on in the
background (non-interactive) but my Internet link is never perfect.

  Is there any such thing as screen for X applications?  Would vnc work
for just one application, or would it create unnecessary overhead?  Any
other suggestions?

  Thanks very much,

-lewiz.
