Hey... that could be quite useful.... I had always thought that such a
tool would be quite useful, but never quite useful enough for me to
spend the time looking for such a thing.
Some usage instructions that could be useful are at:
http://www.dreness.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=76&
(They are written for MacOSX, but I can't see it not working on a Linux box.)
When I get home tonight I'll give it a shot. I wonder how well it
works with SSH X forwarding...?
Have fun...
