: You're looking for either x2vnc or win2vnc...
Moving the mouse and keyboard focus around between various computers can
be done with some conbination of x2x, x2vnc, and win2vnc. But let me
suggest instead a non-vnc solution:
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between
multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its
own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with
multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own
monitor(s).
To drag a window between screens, it might work to have a large virtual vnc
window, portions of which are displayed on each screen. But you wouldn't
actually be running the apps on different machines. And (when I've tried
it) it performs very badly and you have to keep tweaking various window
placements to get it to work adequately. So it's possible, but the cure
may be worse than the disease. Getting the mouse, keyboard, and
cut and paste buffers working has been enough for me.
