What I'm trying to do is run a single visualization application per X server to enable distributed rendering of some very large scientific datasets.  Each application uses the hardware to render its piece then composits it with the other programs on the cluster via TCP/IP.  
So basically instead of "xterm" below there will be "//usr/local/tools/ensight-92/bin/ensight92.client -some fancy -args"
