Move applications being executed between DISPLAYs

Hello,

I usually execute applications remotely using xhost and seting the env variable DISPLAY. For example:

On the display HOST:

xhost + guest_ip_or_DNS_name

On the display GUEST:

export DISPLAY=host_ip_or_DNS_name:0.0
gedit (or any other application)

Now, lets say I want to move the application to the GUEST computer's display again, how do I do it?

Thanks

Re: Move applications being executed between DISPLAYs

I believe MOVING in between displays hasn't been supported for ages, used to have a hacked-up xorg-server which did that, but not anymore since the advent of twinview/xinerama. I may be wrong, of course, but I did search quite extensively couple of months back with no result.
