If you use Stuart and keep a window miniaturized, the shading on
the window icon will change when the contents of that window
change.  Hence, make all your login windows writeable by only
you (do a 'mesg n' in them) and keep one miniaturized (do a 'mesg
y' in that one).  Just to make sure talk requests don't go to the
console, you might want to do a 'chmod og-w /dev/console'.
