The display is stored in the applications private data space, and just contains information about that applications connection to an X Server. Another client should just open its own connect to the same server. It can then operate on any of the first clients windows. I am not sure why an applicantion would ever need to access another client's display structure, can you be more specific in the information that you are looking for? Chris D.
