X doesn't allow "reparenting" windows from one root window to another. There's no fundamental technical reason why it shouldn't be possible when both root windows have the same bit depths (and hence the same X "Visuals"). There doesn't seem to be anything in the Xlib API that would prevent that either. Some X server implementations and Xlib internals might need some updating, and some crappy programs might also get confused by allowing this, but issues are not insurmountable, and the only real reason why it "can't" be done is, is some hallowed specification saying so. -- Tuomo
