(Get the code!)
One option is to abort VT switching if we fail to properly pause the display server (e.g. we don't have root permissions). From the user's perspective it will seem as if VT switching is not working at all, but we can report the failure through our reporting mechanism to help with debugging. I think this is a reasonable way to allow non-root users to use the display server safely.
