yeah, I'm implementing a -novtswitch for Ubuntu (well, implemented), which
doesn't do an initial switch, and also doesn't switch away when it's done

the only problem with this approach is that people type 'startx' and expect it
to function as a program does -> start the program and show itself (switch VTs
to the new one), and then stop the program and hide itself (switch VTs back to
textmode)

this is why I've implemented it as a flag

there's also -sharevts, if you want multiple servers sharing the same VT, but
that's total crack
