a little utility called `x2x' is the key here -- *two* X screens, on two
sperate machine *but* -- *one* keyboard, and *one* mouse... move the mouse
off to the left, and hey; it pops up on the other screen.

IIRC, it also has a relative called `x2vnc' which can do the same with a
windows box if you are unfortunate enough....
