Hi,

I would like to call to attention the fact that two unix screens need 
not be on the same computer. It's terribly convenient to have an X 
server hooked up to a projector and a wlan base station. Then anyone in 
the room can easily show their stuff on the projector without having to 
switch cables and move computers around etc.

So, instead of just specifying the display as "0.1" one should also be 
able to say "my-other-computer:0". This shouldn't be a problem, except 
that remote screens can't be enumerated and therefore the drop-down list 
of displays should be a combobox (or contain an element named "Remote:" 
which, when selected, would display a text field below it).

There is one issue with remote screens, though, and that's the fact that 
the connection might break. This must of course be handled in some sane 
way, perhaps with a "Re-open screen/Abort slideshow" dialog box on the 
main screen.
