You could also consider using 'xrpa' which is like screen but for X applications. Â See Bernat Romagosa description here:

In that article, the steps are:
% xpra attach :5 % DISPLAY=:5 ./pharo.sh
which seems to imply that the 5-th DISPLAY port is occupied by the image.
When I have several images running, using VNC, I can start/stop the VNC display in each image (and specify the portno) using a Seaside interface.
So, I only have to open one firewall port for the X Display port (I'm probably doing something wrong here; maybe I should be using ssh), and I can operate each image GUI as necessary, as long as I only operate on one image at a time.
Can a similar thing be done using xpra?
is it wouldn't be easier to run desktop on X server with as many images you like, and connect x server instead using remote desktop connection? -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
