[TriLUG] Screen for X?

[Carlos J. Cela]

I think you can use VNC for what you want - Run a VNC server on a 
disply, connect to from the local PC (use the VNC viewer or a Java 
enabled web browser), and start your app. Then, you can 'steal' the 
display from any other machine running a viewer. This will allow only 
one viewer controlling the GUI at a time, but that viewer can be 
anywhere... You can even close the viewer and restart it later on the 
same or in another machine - the GUI app will not die.

VNC rocks...
