I've tried su -l, su -c "", and they run the command as another user, but I dont want to run the command as them, I want to be able to view their window on my screen.
Example:
User1: Running Firefox
User2: Running Firefox
User3 (Me): Sees and Controls the two Firefoxes.
Any Help?
Thanks

Do you want them to know you are controlling their machines or are you trying to infect them with a trojan?

@Jesse_b Yes I want them to know I am controlling my machine. They are just (my) user accounts so I can run more than 1 program at a time (that usually only works 1 at a time).

I believe that x11nvc is along the lines of what you are looking for.
Here is an example of how to execute the command in a shell.
your-machine> vncviewer managed-machine:0
This link has more in depth installation and execution instructions.

Try this new tool: https://github.com/x11clone/x11clone
As with x11vnc and similar solutions, you will need to arrange access to the users Xserver, for example using xhost and/or xauth.
