OK, this should do it. Start with OSProcess 2.3, then load the attached
change set, build the new plugin, and try it out. You should be
able to evaluate "UnixProcess displayOnXServer: 'anotherhost:0'" and
have the Squeak display disappear and reappear on another X server.

This comes with my usual money back guarantee, but I suggest saving
your image before trying it, just in case.
