Sounds good, but unfortunately, this change seems to cause trouble ofits own, namely that hitting ctrl-C terminates the X server - not veryuseful. :) It looks like all the input intended for the X server alsogoes to a VT (I can briefly see fragments of what I typed before hittingctrl-C until the server restarts), and that's probably how the ctrl-Cresults in a SIGTERM to the X server.
