Don't suppose - but it's possible to use VNC for that purpose. I like
to run fvwm at work, but unfortunately I "should" be using CDE because
that's what our customers use on Solaris/HP/AIX. So I sometimes start a
VNC server with a smaller screensize and bit-depth than my FVWM desktop,
and test Unix apps there. On Linux, Gnome doesn't like to run two
instances in one user directory, but I think if you're not running Gnome
that's not a problem? (Don't know, when I'm running double like that on
Linux, I usually run KDE in the second desktop, again for test purposes.)
