xmove

Roberto Alsina" blogged about the wonderful synergy and wondered how to move X applications between $DISPLAYs. The solution is called xmove. Xmove is starts a pseudo X server that allows it's clients to be relocated to another server.

I have a NVidia twinview dual-screen setup, which has the disadvantage that the second screen shuts off when the computer goes into fullscreen mode. Fortunatly my second monitor has two VGA connectors, and a switch to choose between them. I've hooked another computer to that second VGA port, and I use that to control my music and chat-client when I'm gaming.
