A few days ago xlinks2 was mentioned on this list and I decided to give
it a try.
When I try to run it from within X as a normal user, no problem.

When I try to run it outside of X as a normal user, I get an error about
opening /dev/tty0 because of permission issues.
westk@canuhold:~$ ls -l /dev/tty0

I could change the group to "tty" or something and then add my normal
user into that group, but is there perhaps a better/safer/more-canonical
way?
Kind of an OT question sorry, but how can you run xlinks2 outside of
X? I thought that TTY terminal sessions didn't support images?
