I have used/seen a couple of variabtions of this type of mechanism. Usually
you want to duplicate an entire X display, not just a single xterm. One method
used the xtm_record and xtm_play programs supplied in the XTest suite. The
other uses a a simular extension called XTrap (presented at the X Technical
conference). Both of them seem to work reasonably well, although the XTrap
solution seemed to be far better syncronized.

Unfortunatley, XTrap has not yet been released to the X community, although
it is hoped to be available *soon*.
