the kb follows the mouse .. which ever xterm is active, is the one
assigned to the kb

- how did you get to the other screens ??

    changing DISPLAY ..
	export DISPLAY=:0.1  
	export DISPLAY=:0.2  
	export DISPLAY=:0.3
	export DISPLAY=:0.4

    or with xinerama ??

- do you want all 4 screens to be the same or different data on each
