I'm not sure if it's what you want, but Fedora Core 3 supposedly has now a similar feature.

Just for sake of reference -- there's a utility, albiet arcane and unmaintained, that can move X clients (ie. applications) between displays, and can even keep them alive when no X server is available to host them, by simulating an X server to them. This utility is called 'xmove'.

Since it simulates an X server, it must remain up-to-date with today's X extensions, and it does not. In fact, it claims it doesn't support 24bit color. But, hey, the hack is there for years! The proof-of-concept exists. Someone should take it from there.

Keep in mind: Microsoft's (excellent!) Terminal Services wasn't implemented in a straightforward way either. They didn't get it "for free". It's a plenty of clever hacks of a system which wasn't even initially designed as multiuser!
