[Qt-interest] Changing Terminals

[linux newbie]

Thanks for your reply.

In this case, how different applications come to foreground on
pressing ALT-F1 or ALT-F2?

Do we need to write our own server application and pass -qws flag in
order to launch different application??

My understanding is that we can't assign each Qt application to
individual tty. Please correct me if I am wrong.
