Distributed Multihead X

Hi,

I am unable to use Xdmx on Ubuntu 8.10 and Gentoo because it crashes at
startup. Something similar seems to happens on Fedora according to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461096

Another report on Ubuntu:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-September/038929.html

Is there any progress on this issue? Or should Xdmx best be regarded as a
sleeping project?

Gentoo also segfaults:
# Xdmx :1 -display cow.local:0
[...]
