I did not say any such thing. :-)
I was merely commenting on the pros&cons of dlopen() and dlclose().
Whether some piece of code actually uses them, is up to the code...

Note that those are different windows. (X) display migration means
moving all of applications (open) windows from one (e.g. local) X server
to another X server. For example you take a PDA with you to a meeting
and you want to show something you've scribbled with it briefly on the
projector before continuing using the same program. Or you have in your
desktop machine multiple graphics cards each running a separate X server
and you want to migrate some of your apps from one X server to another
*without closing* the apps.
