Description Robert Wyrick 2002-07-25 20:31:27 UTC

Attached is file xmove.tar.bz2 which contains an ebuild for xmove.

xmove is pseudoserver for X which allows you to move X11 clients from one
display to another.  This ebuild builds xmove (the X pseudoserver) and xmovectrl
(the client).  An example might be in order:

You have two hosts: A and B.
1. start xmove on host A.  Host A's normal X Display is ":0", the display for
xmove running on host A is "A:1".
2. export DISPLAY="A:1"
3. xclock & ... xclock will now come up on A's display
4. xmovectrl -list
   1     xclock               A:0                             
   This shows that xclock is running on A:0 with an ID of 1
5. xmovectrl -move B 1
   xclock disappears from the display on A and shows up on B
6. xmovectrl -list
   1     xclock               B:0                             
   This shows that xclock is running on B:0 with an ID of 1

I've taken the liberty of placing xmove in x11-misc, and this
is reflected in the tarball.

Enjoy!

I forgot to mention... though this file has a version of 2.0_beta2, the source
hasn't been touched since around 1997 from what I can tell....  I'm not sure if
I named the package correctly.  Y'all decide! ;)
