Hi!

I'm sorry I've made a terrible messup yesterday. I've posted 3
addendums to this bug under the wrong bug id (364437). (A terrible cut
+ paste error...)

However this is all insubstantial.

I can reattach a suspended client to the same display when I simply
use ":0" as display number (I'd like to see this hint added to the
xmove manpage).

And it's also possible to attach the client to a display forwarded
over ssh, if you do the following steps (while being logged in via ssh
-X):

dpyno=$(echo $DISPLAY|cut -f2 -d:|cut -f1 -d.)
xauth list|grep -v localhost|grep $dpyno|cut -f2- -d\ |xargs xauth add $DISPLAY
xmovectrl :1 -moveall $DISPLAY

(Derived these steps from 
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg434211.html )

However I'm still having problems, because xmove complains that "new
server's visual formats are not compatible with your client" when the
client was first attached on my desktop, but it works in the other
direction (from my laptop to the desktop).

But this is probably not a bug, as the xmove manpage explains that
xmove is not supposed to work "in all environments nor with all
programs"...

Apologies
