The magic word is "xvfb". Try searching for it in this forum...

Hey Mirko,
I've been working on a project using the OO.o api and making a fancy report, I can't wait to look through your JOOReports and see if I can throw away some code.
But I also can't wait to ask if you know of a way to get OO.o to connect to multiple xvfb's, one for each open document window. We were generating documents concurrently in multiple windows, but ran afoul of the system clipboard in copy/paste operations and had to synchronize some slow areas of the code.
I realize X doesn't provide multiple DISPLAY variables to a single app, but maybe there is a trick?
Thanks,
Alex |

Nope, I think it's just not possible.

As far as I know Xvfb has the capability, like any other X server, to handle multiple windows.

Why should X provide that? One X server is capable to handle multiple windows.

I guess that your problem arises from concurrently generating documents. OOo cannot handle that in a reliable way: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=2913
With kind regards
