Subject:    Detecting whether the X server VT is the active one

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
