I don't even know if the proposed code works, but you could just call it
before doing mansync stuff.  If mansync is loaded already or program has
forked, etc., it won't work, but so what, mansync doesn't work all the time
either.  Besides, what happened to the idea that we use a suid program
(linux-specific, not libggi) to change console first before running a libggi
