I'm still up for demonstrating how to use networked X, providing we do get
to sort out another meeting. Some people don't seem crazy on the idea of
having presentations, and that's understandable, but they can hack away on
their laptops in the meantime :)

Five or 10 minutes to show how X's network transparency works, along with
a sheet to give out explaining how to set it up, could be great IMHO.

Well, it can be any program -- the networking is at the X (i.e.  
foundation) level so Mozilla, KDE, GNOME, OpenOffice, almost every X
program can be run remotely.
