155) How can I open multiple displays with Xt?


Just open each display separately with XOpenDisplay or XtOpenDisplay.  The
latter is much simpler, since the Xt main loop will automatically poll all
displays for events (if you put them all in the same application context).

However, consult the skeleton X programs for multiple-displays to see how to
handle the breaking of one display connection; normally Xlib issues an XIO
error and then calls exit().
