X11-proxy

Ok, so I did a google on this, but nothing is jumping out. So I'm
wondering if anyone has chased this down before. What I would like to be
able to do is have some sort of X proxy, that will allow me to start an
X app, then disconnect. Then at a later time, re-connect and still have
the app running. Think of this as like the screen command, but for X11
instead of terminals.

I found a couple of places where people asked about this sort of thing,
but no one ever mentioned if it had been done, or why it couldn't be
done. It seems there are firewall products that do similar things. Will
pretend to be a server for the clients, then for each request, will
pop-up a window on the real server asking for permission, then pass all
the requests through. However is there something nasty here stopping
this from working if the real server goes away and comes back, like some
state information?

Any info would be much appreciated.
