A professor would like to do a demonstration in a lab with a number of X stations in it. To run an example, he'd like the stations to be servers from a single client. Has anyone hacked xterm to display this way? Is there some other mechanism to achieve this multiple display?

I have used/seen a couple of variabtions of this type of mechanism. Usually
you want to duplicate an entire X display, not just a single xterm. One method
used the xtm_record and xtm_play programs supplied in the XTest suite. The
other uses a a simular extension called XTrap (presented at the X Technical
conference). Both of them seem to work reasonably well, although the XTrap
solution seemed to be far better syncronized.
Unfortunatley, XTrap has not yet been released to the X community, although
it is hoped to be available *soon*.
