Problem:

On a remote connection via telnet or a dialup line, if the remote
site starts X it takes over the console. Although this behavior
makes sense in some cases, generally people get a little miffed when
their console gets taken over.

What's a good solution? What's a good way to tell if you are not
on your own console? Preferably I need a C and shell script
solution.

Configuration: RT running 4.3.

Thanx in advance.
