[Seamless Window] Accessing a single application window

[tomatenmark]

Hello, I'm wondering how it might be possible to access the window of a single application, and not the entire screen.
It doesn't seem to be possible with UltraVNC

Do you know any other tools to achieve this or how one might try to implement this on linux/X11?
It is certainly possible – VMware is doing something similar with it's Unity feature.

Apparently UltraVNC used to support the feature, but it's been broken.

Any X client/server setup could accomplish something like this, and there are plenty of X implementations for Windows. You could also use a VM setup via VMWare or VirtualBox, etc., etc.

Thanks for the link!
I'll give xpra a try. But it sounds as if it needs a X server on the user side so it would not be possible to use it on windows (I'm trying to access an application running on a linux server from a windows client).

Wait a second then --- if your server app is already in Linux, can't you just use a Windows X client like Cygwin/X?

I'm writing client/server contrary to X notation, because after all these years their backward definition STILL confuses me.

Cool, I didn't know about Cygwin/X.
xpra already works nicely...
