I am running jobs on a remote server, using a bad connection which drops frequently. So I use tmux, to connect to the session again by re-connecting. This way, I can access my existing terminals, and any jobs that are running on the terminals, eg vim.

But if I am running a job like gvim, or any other application which opens up a different window, I dont see that window after re-connecting. But I can see the process for it still running using ps.

So, after reconnecting, how do I get that gvim window back again for usage?

On both hosts (the local and the remote), what is the output of echo $DISPLAY? – aviro Feb 10 '22 at 12:04

how does that information help? – R71 Feb 10 '22 at 12:40

Does this answer your question? Reattach to lost X11 session -- While an old question, the answer seems to be pretty much the same today -- Xpra. – NotTheDr01ds Feb 13 '22 at 22:12
