    Hi,

    I would like to fork an X server so that an application child can
    continue to communicate with an X server child without influencing the
    application parent in any way.

    I have been told that Xvnc and XNest are forkable. Which is the best
    choice? I am not familiar with either. Is there a better X server for
    this purpose?

    Amir

    P.S. This is for the Stabilizer, a system for quickly stabilizing
    buggy GUI applications:

    See the conclusions section of this paper to see how X server forking
    can be helpful:
