Yeah the Linux behaviour of "raw mode disables VT switching" really
sucks.  And VT_PROCESS (where a process takes control of VT switching
to/from a particular VT) also sucks, but is kinda necessary right now
(the proper way to handle it is far from clear).

"display-cube" target ?  :-)

Or wait until someone (maybe even me) writes the "display-net" target
which transfers LibGGI primitives over a socket (or SHM)... and then
write a custom server that provides 6 sockets (one for each face).
