Yes, exactly. You're in X when you launch arachne-svgalib,
which merely transfers you to console #8 where it's running.
If you do that, and then hit <ctrl><alt><F7> you'll be back in X
again (albeit with crazy mouse behavior), then hit <ctrl><alt><F8>
and you'll be back in arachne-svgalib again.
Here, arachne-svgalib is merely launched from X, but run in a
console.
Arachne-ggi actually runs on top of X... or I think more
accurately, behaves as an interface to display an svga program
on top of X. I'm not that well up on exactly what ggi is doing,
but when you run an 800x600 Arachne-ggi in X, you stay in X.
