G-P-M on the wrong track?!

I think that the way this works is that for two users logged in at the
same time, they are both regarded as being on the console even though
only one is being displayed at the local monitor etc.

To me it looks like that we need is some kind of overarching service
that can tell various instances of e.g. g-p-m to transition from / to
states where the user it's servicing is on the primary console / not on
the primary console. That will also take care of nasty race conditions.
