There's nothing that provides a precise analog of screen.

  - VNC (I prefer the tightvnc client) allows you to attach to, detach
    from, and relocate, an X11 session.  You can't move apps between
    sessions.  
    
        http://www.tightvnc.com/

  - xmove -- "A Pseudoserver for moving programs between displays."
    Haven't used this, but it allows clients to be relocated, if they're
    run on the pseudoserver initially.

        http://www.ensta.fr/internet/unix/misc/xmove.html



To install:

    $ apt-get install xmove vnc-common vncserver xvncviewer                                     
...or whatever works on your system ;-)

Cheers.
