I can think of a reasonable use for this, a public display where you
have multiple displays connected to one box. You'd want each display to
run the same apps separately. There could be a lot of this type of
application where basically you want one box to save on configuration
time but running multiple displays with people doing different things in
their own environment. Could also be useful for a terminal server type
setup as well I think.
