[NMLUG] Re-displaying running apps on remote machine?
I thought it was pretty clear....
I have an app running on local display 0 on host Desktop. Later, I
establish an ssh connection to Desktop from Laptop, but I need to use
the application, which is already running. It would be most helpful to
continue the existing session.
How do I (if it is possible) move the app from display 0 on Desktop's X
session to the forwarded X session on Laptop?
This would be sweat. VPN is nice, but running the app alone on my
desktop through X forwarding is better because it doesn't bring along
the baggage of copying the whole desktop. It also allows things like
copy/past from my desktop, and not having to switch between local and
remote desktops.
