Shift running X window (display environment) on SSH X11 forwarding

I want to see remotely some running GUI application without kill the current process, I have tried vnc and xrdp, xrdp opens a new blank session, so it is not for me, vnc is good, but not exactly what I need, it uses the screen and devices presents, someone could mess with me moving the mouse or typing on the keyboard.

Therefore I figured out the only way I could do what I need is managing to shift a running X window from one display to another, thus even on a SSH -X (X11 forwarding) I would be able to see it.

I am on this quest for a long time and I didn't found out a conclusive solution, that is the reason I am appealing to you. Could you help me to solve this trouble?

Thanks,

Thank you folks, but another friend found a better answer, I want to share with the world for someone with the same problem:

There is some tools such as xmove and Xpra that works as a X proxy, allowing you to retain the window opened in a kind of virtual X Server, and catch the window to your environment when you need, exactly what I need!

Thanks dudes.
