Just ask ;)

About TTY 7, it's a bit a pity.  When xorg people will at last commit a
patch that got discussed a _long_ time ago, the WINDOWPATH environment
variable should be automatically defined to 7 by xdm and xinit, and then
orca would just need to use enterTtyModeWithPath().

Unfortunately this is not yet commited (I really don't see why except
lack of time).  Something you may do (when the WINDOWPATH environment
variable is not set) is getting the XFree86_VT property of the root
window: it holds the number of the VT the X server is running in.

Oh, btw I forgot to bind enterTtyModeWithPath() in python, I must do
this...
