Noted. I sent this proposal to KDE-devel as well. I was originally hesitant to 
send it there because the list was apparently for developers, and I'm no 
developer.

I'm not a coder, I'm afraid. So I can't "show the code". But most of the 
required technology is already there. NX work very well (in fact, I'm typing 
this through NX-session on my KDE-machine at home, while I'm actually sitting 
at work enduring Windows XP ;)).

What I'm interested in is to know is:

a) whether my idea is pure BS and/or bogus
b) is it doable. If it is, should/could it be done
c) how to refine and improve the idea
d) what sort of functionality should it include

In short: All kinds of comments are welcome :).

Thanks :)!
