Exactly. People "are looking at it", "would like to do it", ...
But, to my knowledge, it's not done and used so far.
In Amsterdam, we are playing with two implementations, one
based on VNC pumping pixels to our rendering cluster, another
one using a native RTP stack to decode videos in parallel
on the cluster and rendered in 3D. Both implementations have pros
and cons for implementation and usage...
Image using "VNC" mode:

I was just surprised by the reviewer's comment.
cheers,
Luc.

We are setting up a AG node/Power wall hybrid. The projects
we are looking at using are:
http://dmx.sf.net
http://chromium.sf.net
The Distributed Multihead X Project is a "front-end proxy X
server that will control multiple back-end X servers that
make up the large display." I was not at SC 2002, but I
heard it was there. The design document says that they are
investigating how to distributed OpenGL and that the
Chromium project may be integrated. Our node/powerwall isn't
up yet, but we hope to be soon.
Here are some quick links from google about people who already
have this set up.
