	Build a whole new console/head management system along the lines of
KGI-0.9, but in userspace using LibGGI.  If we can catch and handle VT
switches, the rest should be a SMOP.  A rather large SMOP, but doable.  
LibGGI and LibGII already provide a sort-of KII through the event 
abstraction system they use....
