As far as I know, you can't. Sorry. Bernard mentioned a little while ago 
that there's experimental support in gtk for it now. I'm not aware of 
any nice, well-established method. Some not-so-nice methods:
	- Run your session in Xvnc.
	- use the Xmove X proxy server
	- use the X vnc module to serve the X server's framebuffer
Only Xmove actually uses X11 rather than the VNC protocol.

Hopefully doing such client moves (and hopefully disconnects/reconnects) 
will become more common in time. X11 has been around for a while though...
