But the author of an X server could catch a certain key sequence and then
switch back to the original display (un-display its view) and set things
back to let the keyboard go to the console.  In some of the view programs
i wrote I caught the SIGQUIT signal and used it to switch between the
view it opened and the view that was in use beforehand.  This allowed me
to make mandelbrots in the background and peak in on them from time
to time.
