Add an old, second computer pulled out of the trash to the puzzle, run X on it, and use it as an X terminal for the first. You have accomplished your stated goal using tools the way they were intended to be used, rather than twisting them in ways they were not intended. Plus, you have much greater scalablity -- what do you do for the THIRD, fourth, or twentieth user on your system? With my recommendation, just add more "junk" computers. Your idea? Not going to happen. Nick.
