I already saw this problem switching from ctrl+alt+F7 to ctrl+alt+F8 from a F7 root X session to a F8 user X session, wher the user session sees the last root screen.
Umm... what's stopping the user from looking at the F7 root session and getting the information *before* you hit alt-F8? If the user is there in time to see the vt7 session info before the X server wakes up and draws the vt8 pixels, they were probably in visual range before you did it too. Unless of course, ctl-alt-F8 is really your "the boss is coming, hide the pr0n" key sequence, in which case you *do* have a problem, but it's not the X server. :)
