There is a program that does exactly what you want for X. It's
called xmx. Here are some excerpts from the README file :

-------------
XMX is an X protocol multiplexor.  It is a standalone utility for displaying
an X Windows session on multiple displays.  XMX takes advantage of the
networked nature of the X Window System by tapping the communication link
between an X client and an X server.  In this way, XMX works with any
X clients and any X servers, without the need to modify either.

This software was developed at Brown University for use in our electronic
classroom.  Some version of it has been in use here since 1988.
