GNU Screen - A Hacker's Ideal Terminal

Screen is great. I wish there were an analogous tool that let me group several running X apps into a long-running session that I could connect to/disconnect from locations. Any idea if this is possible today?

I realize that this is really old, but I came back searching for something in the comments, and I now have something to add to this. I came across something (that is no longer maintained) called xmove which was describe as 'screen for X11'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmove

NX is supposedly able to do this, but last time I looked (which, admittedly, was two or three years ago) you had to expect serious problems if the set of available fonts on the different display servers was different (i.e. in all realistic scenarios). Oh, and it only worked on x86-32.
