Something I haven't tried, but that looks interesting, is
http://partiwm.org/wiki/xpra

"Xpra gives you "persistent remote applications" for X. That is, unlike
normal X applications, applications run with xpra are "persistent" --
you can run them remotely, and they don't die if your connection does.
You can detach them, and reattach them later -- even from another
computer -- with no loss of state. And unlike VNC or RDP, xpra is for
remote applications, not remote desktops -- individual applications show
up as individual windows on your screen, managed by your window manager.
They're not trapped in a box. "
