How difficult would it be to extend the virtual desktop to cover
multiple X servers?

  For instance, I am typing this on a sparc and right next to me
  I have a NetBSD-0.8 machine running. It would be nice if I had
  an fvwm window attached to this sparc from my pc or vice-versa.

  Tnks a million for fvwm :-)
