Detecting whether the X server VT is the active one

[Michael Thayer]

Hello,

Another problem that I am running into is that the X11 client part of 
our Guest Additions needs to know whether or not the X server VT is 
currently the active one, for example so that it can disable our 
"seamless windows" functionality if the server is switched out. 
Currently we do this too with a hack in our DDX.  This only needs to 
work with a standard X.Org server, so I thought about adding code to the 
server to add and update a root window property to pass on the 
information.  Does that sound like an acceptable solution, and if not, 
does anyone have a better one?

Thanks.

Regards,

Michael
