Just launch 3 applications on the same terminal and provide a method for 
switchng between them. Just launch the first app (or an app launcher 
like the fluidlauncher demo that ships with Qt) with the -qws flag so 
that it is the server process. Then launch your other apps without this 
flag so that they connect to an existing server process.

e.g.

fluidlauncher -qws &

or

myapp1 -qws &
myapp2 &
myapp3 &


HTH,

Sean
