If I was going to do this sort of thing, I'd abandon "the normal GNOME
stuff", and probably even forego a window manager. Then, I'd look
into using nawm to show and hide (in X terminology, "map" and "unmap")
each window in turn. Something like this (untested):
HOSTS="host1 host2 host3 host4"
for host in $HOSTS; do
ssh -nfX $host xload -title '$host load' -geometry 1024x768
done
for host in $HOSTS; do
nawm -e"unmap \"$host\";"
done
while true; do
for host in $HOSTS; do
nawm -e"map \"$host\";"
sleep 5
nawm -e"unmap \"$host\";"
done
done
(If you were truly motivated, you could even do this all within nawm,
but the sh script is probably slightly less arcane. :-)
