Is it known whether it is reasonably possible with the current code?
(This is so I can take advantage of the privilege separation
provided by the OS, while doing different activities and programs

my normal practice in my Debian days, switching among them with
Ctrl-Alt-FN.)
Either way, thanks much for any info.

I don't know if it's possible to do exactly what you want, but as an
alternative, maybe you could get a similar effect using Xnest or vnc.
