As a further exploration... I thought there was a setting in Xserver config that defaults to not allowing another session to access an already running window, *but* you could unset that and then attach specifying an already running session.
If you can do that, then you should be able to access a running session from anywhere, as long as you can get an x-connection. So am I simply deluded, or is this possible?
