In general, this is illegal.  There's no provision within Intuition for
sharing private screens--only the workbench screen is shared.  In the
particular case of "VLT", Willy Langeveld, author of VLT, has written
a library called screenshare.library which provides a simple means for
programs to make their screens publically available to other programs
which use screenshare.library.  Latest version is on Fish disk 308.
