Well, there is xpra, https://www.xpra.org/ https://www.xpra.org/ which allows disconnection and reconnection of X apps. It's pretty good when you get it to work

- rlpb 12y agoI use xpra (to the extent that it works for me, anyway). But there are situations when I don't want to attach an X app - I just want to connect to a screen in an existing terminal. Raw text over ssh is the fastest and most responsive over a laggy connection, too.
- listic 12y agoThanks for introducing me to Xpra! I feel this is a tool that will need some getting used to. Where does it stand in multi-user scheme of work? Suppose I need to give several users access to a certain application running on a remote server. Do I create separate user accounts for each user on that remote server? Do they start a separate display for each user? Where should I ask my noobish questions?
- xioxox 12y agoI'm no expert, but each user can create an xpra session, which they can connect to remotely by ssh. You just need to install it and provide ssh access. I don't know whether other options might work. x2go might be an alternative, where you connect to get a complete desktop.
