: The screen program does this (for text terminals).  See
: screen-3.7.1.tar.gz on your friendly GNU archive.

 The xmove pseudo server does it for X displays. You run xmove and you
 attach it to your usual display (say unix:0.0). Then you run your X
 clients and attach them to the xmove server (say unix:1.0). The
 client output goes to your screen thru xmove. When you want to move
 to another display you can detach xmove from your old display and
 attach it to your new one. X clients are connected with xmove so they
 don't know anything about the change.

 Unfortunately I don't remember where I found xmove, but a Web or
 archie search will tell you. As last resort here is the e-mail of one
 of the authors: ethan@cs.columbia.edu
