Just want to note that it's a subset of a more generic problem to support HAL
applications in multi-seat configurations, which can take various forms from
per-user-assigned USB hub ports to thin clients like Sun Ray to sandbox
environments like Jails or Zones. It's a subset in the sense that "same user on
multiple VTs" is a special case of "different users on multiple terminals of
arbitrary types". One could look at implementing a subset either positively
(small step in the right direction) or negatively (but do we have a long-term
vision), depending on the POV.
As part of HAL port to Solaris we're thinking about some extensions to HAL and
D-BUS, which of course will be open sourced, though there's no guarantee that
they will be accepted upstream.
