X multiwindowed game on multiple computers

hi i play freeciv (www.freeciv.org)

it uses athena widget set or gtk widget set
it opens multiple windows
i have not big enough screen
i have multiple computers.

first idea was

use XGGI to make bigger screen.
but XGGI cannot display on remote X target
(it sais no directbuffer on Xlib target
and on X target it works but displays black only screen
it creates BIG network load and won'T accept C-c to kill
the XGGI program. it must be killed with -9. if a client
connects to the server the client get's stuck in a
select(... call.
)

there are no other remote GGI targets.
so i cannot do this with GGI

last idea would be AA and then xterm on other host but this sucks.


now i tried some X tools. but i can't find out which ones would
do the job.


any ideas ?

cu
erik
