Throwing an X display from within IDL? [message #33825]

Under linux (idl 5.3 if it makes a difference) I have a process
running that will occasionally find some condition that should be
reported immediately to a particular person. However there are
multiple sersons, each responsible for one of the conditions. So what
I'd like to do from idl is open a couple windows (widget_base etc)
onto several (three to be precise) remote X servers, where people can
put those in the corner on their screen and get information as I am
processing it.

We've played with various ways to make this happen by running multiple
processes that talk to each other via named pipes, but I'd like to be
able to just throw these windows directly from within IDL. But there
doesn't seem to be a keyword in the 'window' routine or such, and I
can't see a field in !D where one might indicate a X-target.Can that
be done? Where would I even start looking?
