I hope it will be soon (is there any chance?), because I think it is a really important feature. My use for it would be the following. On my office computer, I start Emacs in terminal mode from within a 'screen' session, open an X window and detach the screen session. Then, within Emacs, I start a long computation in an inferior Lisp buffer (Common Lisp). At home or from somewhere else, I want to look at the state of this computation while being connected via a slow telephone line. This is now easy by logging in and attaching to the screen session. Of course, also reading mail from home is an obvious application. In every case, one would have both the comfortable X interface and the terminal mode, if the connection is slow. Nicolas.
