he wants to start a programm in a vt and move to the background - start x -
and then raise it from the back into the front (of an xterm)

- this procedure can be done with "screen" i think, with it it´s possible if
i remember the description of a friend correctly ??
- i´ve just tried it for five minutes ;-)
