One controller, many viewers

I'm using VNC on Unix. (Both server and viewer).

I want to use VNC in a presentation mode, where I drive the presentation and other clients can only 
watch. (Not take control of mouse or keyboard)

The -viewonly option to the server is great except that *no* clients can control the session, me 
included.

The -viewonly option for the viewer is fine, except that somebody always forgets to use it and 
starts driving whether they mean to or not.

What I want is a "-viewonlyforeveryonebutme" option to the server. :-)

I know it's gotta be possible - how do I set it up?

Thanks,
Greg
