IIRC, X2X will only give you the ability transfer control the mouse and 
keyboard from one host to the other.  It does not give you the ability to 
'drag' windows from one display to the other.

I know I have heard of a 'bouncing ball' that went around a whole room of 
XTerminals, but whether there is anything that gives a true 'Xinerama' like 
system OOTB I don't know.
