Abstract :
The X Teleconferencing and Viewing (XTV) X-based shared window system, which accommodates conference latecomers by monitoring the communication channel between a conference application and the initial user´s display manager and recording the X resources created by a shared application, is described. XTV creates copies of the resources on a latecomer´s X server when he or she joins the conference. The recording scheme used in XTV keeps minimal-length logs.<>
