- What about adding an option ("on" by default) to

the virtual console to hold the "window title" ?
This idea is quite interesting. But what will be
displayed in that
position? I'm afraid there is no sense to display
"console #" for end
users. But if we make the console display like X, why
not use X instead
of text mode?
Actually, it might be useful to display console number there (as an aid
to remembering which one is on), but also two other things (subdivide
the reserved line into three parts): an area reserved for a Trusted Solaris
Extensions window label (yes, even on console mode, at least if there is a
possibility that different virtual consoles could be assigned to different
zones), and an area reserved for a user-settable title (like one can have
in various terminal emulators via an escape sequence).
If the line was used for the special purpose, the tty window rows
(struct winsize member ws_row?) should be reduced by one accordingly.
If a TSX label was set (which shouldn't be possible by the user), the
line would be enabled automatically.
We may name this feature as Trusted Console. ;)
Anyway, we will try to investigate this with TX system.
If doable, we may have this feature because I really want to use
TX in text mode without touching global zone as in X.
