Disclaimer: I haven't read the entire thread and I don't have exact details.
I was at ZendCon last week and one of the presenters on Ajax stuff used a PHP/Ajax script that allowed him to change the slides in everyone else's browser as they followed along with the presentation. I don't remember who exactly or the name of the script he was using. Nor am I really sure if this is what you are looking for because, as I said above, I haven't read the thread. Anyway, the ZendCon site might be able to help you out.
