As a simple alternative, check out expect (<a href="http://expect.nist.gov/" title="nist.gov">http://expect.nist.gov/</a nist.gov>) scripts kibitz, or X11 capable xkibitz (included in examples directory of expect source tarball).
Its easy to use:
1) Start an xterm that you wish to share 2) start xkibitz "/path/to/xkibitz" 3) ^] escapes to a xkibitz> prompt where you can do "+ displayname:0" for any # of displays 4) typing "return" returns you to the shell which is now shared
of course you need permission to open remote displays, but in LAN or VPN environment - works great.
