display question

Let's say I have an application displaying on X display 1 (through vnc or whatever other means). Can I move it to display 0 somehow? If so, how? edit: Assume I have permission to display on either display. :)

If you're planning to do this in advance,
"Xmove starts a pseudoserver which allows its X11 clients to be relocated from one display to another"

So you could alter the shortcuts on your desktop appropriately. Similar to 'screen' for console apps.
