How is this better than VirtualGL ? I frequently use vglconnect and vglrun to XForward OpenGL applications. Anyone know if this does anything better?

I'm not familiar with VirtualGL so correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like it supports reattaching to a still-running program after detaching or getting disconnected, which is the main purpose/advantage of xpra.
