I don't know what Burton's original motivation for this was but I
would definitely have use for a way to show forced "always on"
messages on the screen. They should be shown in a manner that does not
let normal users hide them.

Currently I'm just forcibly switching to another virtual console, then
disabling virtual console switching and rechecking that I am still on
the safe virtual console. This unfortunately is not stable on many
graphics drivers...

I also read the source of the Xorg selinux extension but was not quite
sure if it was up to the task. I got the impresion that a customized
window manager would be necessary anyway.
