For anyone who is looking for an X11 equivalent of screen,

http://code.google.com/p/partiwm/wiki/xpra

The functionality is similar to forwarding X11 over ssh, but it handles
high latency links much, much better. The only feature I wish it
supported that it doesn't is input grabs (e.g. thunderbird prompting for
a password).
