Sim, você pode fazer isso com xpra . De sua página inicial:
"To start an application (a simple xterm in this example) on a remote system and display it your local machine, simply run:
xpra start ssh:SERVERHOSTNAME:100 --start-child=xterm
This is similar to ssh -X, except it is faster and you can disconnect and re-connect to the session as many times as you like. (obviously xpra must be installed on your server host) To re-connect or to connect to this session from another machine, use the attach command (you can also use the xpra_launcher GUI):
xpra attach ssh:serverhostname:100
