[PD] pdp window on another x display

[Paris Treantafeles]

Hi Ben,

Yes, perhaps that's best - especially with slower machines like mine.

I tried doing pdp2gem to capture but got rather strange results when  
the image went into the gem window - like it was cut up and put back  
together strangely - that was on osx.
I can't remember if I tried on linux - guess I should again :-)

Best,
p
