btw, my original plan for this involved writing a small xlib replacement 
that also fixed the "mandatory exit on display disconnect" problem, the 
hard part of this is replicating DISPLAY parsing and authentication, the 
protocol reimplementation is trivial since you only need to care about a 
couple types of message, and well X protocol isn't complex - but I admit 
this plan is kind of crazy.

Some type of proxy daemon is perhaps a better idea, or just dlopen since 
I think latest xlib doesn't have the forced-exit-on-disconnect.
