Subject: Concurrency in a widget tree or window tree?

I need to simulate the following behavior:

In a widget tree, some subtrees belong to different clients, but their
behaviors are the same as in one client. Example: a RowColumn containing
two buttons. I need two buttons that are connected with two different
clients, but when the RowColumn is resized, then the changes of two
buttons are same as they would be in one client.

The initial motivation of above requirement is to construct concurrent user
interfaces in a uniform and easy way.

If this is difficult on the widget level, can I do something similar on
the window level (i.e. in a window tree, some subtrees are connected with
different clients)?
