In MS-Windows you can go to real DOS mode by selecting and entry from the
task bar and clicking a button. Wouldn't it be nice if we could switch
to the Linux console in a similar fashion, perhaps with FvwmTaskBar and
FvwmForm + whatever needs to be done to generate synthetic keystrokes.
There seems to be a problem with getting window managers to generate
synthetic keystrokes and synthetic mouse clicks. It would be nice to
know how this could be done.
