Any ideas on how to control more than one screen with one mouse? I mean
that the user can effectively slave one screen of the one he is using.

I can see that I could grab the mouse (and kbd) on server 1 and push
the events onto the application running on another server. But how
can I make the mouse pointer move on the "slaved" server?
Or is there another way entirely?

(Plan B: a black box with a big knob on it marked "screen a" and "screen b"
that connects the mouse/kbd to either server)
