To the best of my knowledge, this is a restriction of the XServer
standard itself. It doesn't support redirecting connections from one
window to another, it only supports establishing and ending individual
connections. It would probably be pretty complex to implement such a
work-around, but I'm certain that it would be much appreciated in the
greater *nix community.
