Abstract
A system for incorporating at least one window from a first desktop environment having a first themed graphical display into a second desktop environment having a second themed graphical display includes a first virtual channel, a second virtual channel, and a local agent. The first virtual channel conveys graphical data associated with a window in the first desktop environment comprising a client area and a window rectangle. The second virtual channel conveys window attribute data associated with the window and including screen coordinates for the client area. A local agent forms a corresponding window in the second desktop environment, the corresponding window displaying the graphical data received from the first virtual channel in a local client area displayed at screen coordinates in accordance with the received window attribute data, the corresponding window having a local window rectangle displayed according to a second graphical theme.
