Detecting whether the X server VT is the active one

Hello,
Another problem that I am running into is that the X11 client part of
our Guest Additions needs to know whether or not the X server VT is
currently the active one, for example so that it can disable our
"seamless windows" functionality if the server is switched out.
Currently we do this too with a hack in our DDX. This only needs to
work with a standard X.Org server, so I thought about adding code to the
server to add and update a root window property to pass on the
information. Does that sound like an acceptable solution, and if not,
does anyone have a better one?
Thanks.
Regards,
Michael
