Lispworks IDE windows on multiple X displays at once?

Hi, list,

Similarly to the way most people use Emacs, I leave the Lispworks IDE
running most of the time.  I also occasionally use a laptop from
elsewhere in my house.  I'm wondering if there's any way to get the
currently running Lispworks IDE process running on my desktop machine
to open Editor or Listener (or any other) windows on my laptop?
(Desktop machine is Linux, laptop is MS Windows, with both Cygwin and
VMWare Player installed.)

Otherwise I have a couple of options:

 o Connect to the remote desktop using VNC Viewer
 o Start a new LW session on the desktop and export the display
 o Run a new LW session locally in VMWare Player; copy files back and
   forth or mount the drive.
 o Run a new LW session in VMWare Player and export to the Cygwin X
   session; copy files or mount drive.
 o Purchase LW for Windows and run it natively; copy files or mount
   drive.

None of these are terrible, of course (though the last one is kind of
expensive, compared to the others :), I'm just curious if there's
another way.

Thanks for any help!
