Subject: Multiple screen/display applications

Has anyone solved a problem connecting multiple X displays together
with a single keyboard and mouse?  I am working on an application
where it would be desirable to control multiple crt displays (possibly
attached to separate workstations) from a single workstation.  The X11
protocol supports multiple screens, although I've only seen this work
on a Sun treating a cgfour framebuffer as monochrome and color
screens.  I seems conceivable to solve this problem at either the
server or window manager level.  I would be very interested in hearing
from anyone who has used (or is planning to use) X in an application
requiring more that one physical display monitor.
