Umm... what's stopping the user from looking at the F7 root session and getting
the information *before* you hit alt-F8?  If the user is there in time to see
the vt7 session info before the X server wakes up and draws the vt8 pixels,
they were probably in visual range before you did it too.

Unless of course, ctl-alt-F8 is really your "the boss is coming, hide the pr0n"
key sequence, in which case you *do* have a problem, but it's not the X server. :)
