We have heard a rumor that someone has made mods to X to allow a single
X-client to multicast its output to multiple servers (and allow interaction
from all of the users sitting at the display attached to those servers) 
concurrently.  Does anyone konw about this?  It would solve several problems
we are working on here which involve multiple, remote users interacting with 
the same "program" at the same time.  Was this possibly incorporated into
X11R4?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!!
