Rationale
It would be great to have an easy way to configure a multihead ubuntu computer with additional usb keyboards/mouses for several users being able to use the same computer at the same time.
It would be very useful at home and internet kiosks.

Someone else posted this idea: Integrate Synergy

That appears to do just what you're asking.

(I've marked the other idea as a duplicate, because you were here first.)

I accidentally duplicated #383:

Can #383 be tagged both "multihead" and "multiseat" ?

As well as I understood this idea is more than a simple dual-screen (see "multihead") function. It is rather a "multiseat" function as seen also in #3442.
