the 'failsafe' session

[Bill Nottingham]

So, this came up as a sidepoint in another bug.

Say, you're a user, your mouse isn't working. You try and
log into a failsafe session to fix it.

You're now screwed because:

a) if you start an app, it may not have focus
b) there's no keysequence to change focus, unless you're an X guru

Is this a situation we really care about? What do we expect
people to use the failsafe session for, in practice?
