Well, using Vim (and I preferably in uxterm) one is kind of protected from loosing changes by putting things into a screen session (but of course all the other non-text-console programs will loose their stuff). Seeing a lot of Emacs users using XEmacs or GNU Emacs in X mode that obviously won't work. Which brings me to something I always wondered about: Why is there no X pendant for screen (or I'm not aware of it)? I.e. some proxy X server, opening an additional display passing through X transparently, keeping record of prerequisite resources. And make this proxy de-/attachable. So far I emulated such using Xvnc, but that means no HW acceleration, no indirect GLX and such things. Of course such a thing boils down to implementing an almost fully featured X server, so if I were to implement such a thing, I'd probably start of kdrive/Xephyr.
