This is very neat.  Actually, I just tried it on Mdk8.2, and there
does not seem to be a direct relationship between consoles numbers and
screen numbers, so the above is true if you initiate the X
environments in that order.  But if you are in console F3 and you do:

$ startx -- :1

Then Ctrl+Alt+F3 will get you back to the console, and then Alt+F8
will return you to the X screen you started with :1.

In other words, the F7-F10 refer to X screens :0 to :3, respectively,
no matter which console you initiated them from.  It's still great,
because you can start different window managers in each X screen  ;-)
