The route with Xvnc would be: Start Xvnc, run xapp_a with display to Xvnc
and run vncviewer everywher xapp_a is needed.
The easy way to configure this is:
- Create a dedicated user for xapp_A (call it xapp_A)
- Login as xapp_A and start vncserver on a dedicated display (say :24).
- check with remote vncviewer if vncserver for xapp_A is running
- stop vncserver
- edit ~/.vnc/xserver: add a line to start xapp_A (like the line "xterm &",
optionally remove this line)
- optionally remove the line to start a windowmanager ("twm &") and other
lines which are not needed.
- start vncserver to the dedicated display.
- OPtionally create something to automatically restart the vncserver once it
is stopped. a (rude) way is to create a crontab entry to start the
vncserver every hour (or even every 5 minutes).

Your request is considdered "dirty". IF an app runs on a display, it should
stay there. If the app is to be taken over, then it should be configured
that way.
