How do detatch and reattach a x-forwarded ssh-session?

Question

i have a linux-server and would like to run linuxdcpp (linux dc++) on it. for that I need to create a ssh connection with x-forwarding like:

ssh user@server -X

Then I need something like screen to start a session I can reattach later.

the thing with screen that it does not work. the moment I detach the screen session, the x-forwarded program stays open and will be terminated the moment I close it.

Is there something I can use for both: screen with x-forwarding?

Answer 1

There are some hacks, none of which are very satisfying. The usual solution to this is to run a VNC or NX on the remote machine.
