I'm trying to find the best alternative to use my machine from local and remote "sharing" the same running application (I guess you could say the same x session, but I've not fully grasped yet how graphical sessions work and I guess there is also some way to move the same graphical application between x session).

Here are some use cases which I'm trying to address Resume work remotely:

  • I start a program locally
  • I logout (the program keeps running)
  • I connect from remote and see the same running program Resume work locally:
  • I start a program remotely
  • I logout (the program keeps running)
  • I connect locally and see the same running program

I've seen that using x0vncserver I can control the local display, however this solution let me see all my screen on my local machine on my tiny laptop, which is kind of a mess. Is there any better alternative?

p.s. I've already an ssh connection and I'll use port forwarding to make sure that the traffic is encrypted and secure

If you are talking about an X windows session, look into x11vnc which exports running X session via the VNC protocol. You can connect to it remotely with any VNC client, possibly also through a SSH tunnel, although it should support SSL/TLS connection of it's own.
