xmove is a pseudoserver (much like lbx) which allows you to move
X-Clients between different displays, or even suspend and resume 
them.

	``The Committee has considered, but chosen to defer, the
	possibility of protecting the design of typefaces. A
	'typeface' can be defined as a set of letters, numbers, or
	other symbolic characters, whose forms are related by
	repeating design elements consistently applied in a notational
	system and are intended to be embodied in articles whose
	intrinsic utilitarian function is for use in composing text or
	other cognizable combinations of characters. The Committee
	does not regard the design of typeface, as thus defined, to be
	a copyrightable 'pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work'
	within the meaning of this bill and the application of the
	dividing line in section 101.'' H. R. Rep. No. 94-1476, 94th
	Congress, 2d Session at 55 (1976), reprinted in 1978 U.S. 
	Cong. and Admin. News 5659, 5668.

	It's also in accordance with the one court case I know of that
	has considered the matter: Eltra Corp. V. Ringer, 579 F.2d
	294, 208 USPQ 1 (1978, C.A. 4, Va.).

	The U.S. Copyright Office holds that a bitmapped font is
	nothing more than a computerized representation of a typeface,
	and as such is not copyrightable:

	``The [September 29, 1988] Policy Decision [published at 53 FR
	38110] based on the [October 10,] 1986 Notice of Inquiry
	[published at 51 FR 36410] reiterated a number of previous
	registration decisions made by the [Copyright] Office. First,
	under existing law, typeface as such is not registerable. The
	Policy Decision then went on to state the Office's position
	that 'data that merely represents an electronic depiction of a
	particular typeface or individual letterform' [that is, a
	bitmapped font] is also not registerable.'' 57 FR 6201.
