Gives you the ability to switch VCs when you are not locked.  I use
the console from time to time.  I frequently use the cool
xdmflexiserver to open a different X session on the same machine
without killing my brother's one.  DontSwitchVTs would make it
impossible (unless perhaps I chvt as root).

That would be optimal of course.
