+xpra (remote X11 desktop proxy)
+
+Xpra is known as "screen for X". Its seamless mode allows you to
+run X11 programs, usually on a remote host, direct their display
+to your local machine, and then to disconnect from these programs
+and reconnect from the same or another machine(s), without losing
+any state. This effectively gives you remote access to individual
+graphical applications. It can also be used to access existing
+desktop sessions and start remote desktop sessions.
+
+Note: If 'xpra attach' freezes up with "UI thread is now blocked" on
+its stdout, try running it again with --opengl=no.
