[Gllug] x2x and xinerama

[Ian Norton]

hiya,

your problem is probably due to the window manager on one of your boxes, 
ive had the same bother using sawfish, it works fine with kde, esp if 
you turn off edge flipping and multiple workspaces,

ive managed to use x2x and x2vnc well with xinerama using metacity, 
fluxbox, enlightenment and kde
