  Description     : drive multiple xterms separately or together

 Multixterm creates multiple xterms that can be driven together or
 separately.

 In its simplest form, multixterm is run with no arguments and commands are
 interactively entered in the first entry field. Press return (or click the
 "new xterm" button) to create a new xterm running that command.

 Keystrokes in the "stdin window" are redirected to all xterms started by
 multixterm. xterms may be driven separately simply by focusing on them.

 The stdin window must have the focus for keystrokes to be sent to the
 xterms. When it has the focus, the color changes to aquamarine. As
 characters are entered, the color changes to green for a second. This
 provides feedback since characters are not echoed in the stdin window.

 Typing in the stdin window while holding down the alt or meta keys sends an
 escape character before the typed characters. This provides support for
 programs such as emacs.

Thanks for your hint, I didn't know clusterssh. Just checked it out
and it does pretty much the same (and has more options), so I close
the ITP for multixterm hereby.

For those who like to install kde(-libs) ;-)

Good point, too, but not required anymore.
