It's strange that the first two web links in your email seems unusable. I have found some information about GGI project through google, and I found this VNC LibGGI target - allows LibGGI applications to display over the network using the VNC protocol. Needs porting from old LibGGI. I want to develop something similar like VNC libGGI target, a special VNC server based on X-windows, which could provides interface of any single X appliction. It would work like this. The user specifies the application he wants, and the special VNC server will transfer the interface of that application through the network to the user. The VNC viewer does not need to be changed at all, for it simply displays what the server gives it. The main difficulty is how I can separate the interface of a single X appliction from the whole desktop. I'am a newbie of X-windows, and I expect for any suggestion on this problem. Thank you for any help!
