I have a development server that I leave running all the time, and a development laptop that I turn off/on everyday.
I have a GUI application on the server that I’d like to run over SSH -X, and I’d like to leave it running even when my dev laptop is powered off.
Is there a way to detach and then re-attach to that application over SSH -X?
I’d prefer not to use VNC in my case.

Method 1
There’s xpra (or a newer fork), a slightly more recent tool than xmove.
Method 2
Xmove should be able to do what you want.
Here is a howto (dated 2006).
