It can be disabled with the -zaphod option to the server (I am assuming
you are running R4).

I have something similar available for ftp from 132.206.1.1, in
X/xscreenwarp.c.

To flip between screens, use XWarpPointer to warp the pointer to the
desired screen; this causes the server to switch the display over to
the screen the pointer is warped to.  The user interface to drive this
can be designed to taste.
