I've been toying with how best to do this and am thinking of creating
a generic php program that will execute keystrokes and mouse movements
on the X server. This can be done easily with the program xte from
xautomation (hoopajoo.net).
I'll see if I can create a quick and easy way to draw a remote with
php and have it execute xte. The latest version supports remote X
commands, so it should be possible to control multiple frontends with
the same "remote".
