Re: Connecting to two displays ?

[Noel Burton-Krahn <noel burton-krahn com>]

Interesting idea.  Gtk talks to an X server over a socket.  The X
server talks back, so connecting to two servers doesn't make much
sense.  However, you could write a simple redirecting X server which
forwards traffic between an X app and your primary display and copies
traffic to a secondary display.  Ssh does X forwarding.


X App ---------> Forking X server --------> primary display
      <---------            |      <------ 
                            |
                            +-------------> secondary display

Just a thought.
