Slightly related, there's a nice tool called x2x which combines two X displays on different machines, so moving the cursor off the side of one makes it appear on the other (AFAIK it works using a 1-pixel-wide window at the screen edge).
I used this to control my OpenMoko with keyboard and mouse (over SSH), in lieu of an external screen/'dock' like the article shows.

It's probably easiest to just SSH into the phone as needed, and use scp/rsync/sshfs/etc. to copy things across. If nothing else, it avoids the horrors of having to type commands via a touchscreen.
