You know, with the client and server nature of X this ought to be fairly straightforward to do, but I don't think I've ever seen or heard of such a thing. I see two basic alternatives, a "shim" that a single client application connects to as if it were the X server, then the shim connects as a client to multiple X servers, or a shim that acts as X server to multiple clients (including a window manager) and then connects as a client to multiple "normal" X servers, showing root window and all in one window on those servers. Has anyone seen such a thing? It sounds like an interesting problem for learning about X programming that's not yet another window manager nor yet another widget library. I guess I'd better go get the protocol spec and take a close look at this. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
