Along the same line but perhaps more interesting than 'reconnectable' X would be 'reroutable' X, where you could redirect output from a local display to a projector (Star Trek: "On ViewScreen!"). This can be done with proxies or double-rendering, but it would be interesting to try it at the toolkit level. -Chris -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
