The main per-session widget in this setup is the scrolled
text buffer (and I only tried it with tkui).  So switching
to a new session just hides the active textscroller and
unhides the one for the target session.  I didn't implement
snoop in sanbox/leantin[1] but it would be as easy as having
two session share the same TkuiSession instance.

This is close to how tinyfugue handles it, IIRC.

It gets a little fancier in order to make it easy to add
custom UI widgets above or below the scrolledtext window.
Each TkuiSession instance has an empty frame above and
below the scroller where user's can drop their own buttons,
dropdowns, whatever.  We hide/unhide the frames as well when
sessions are changed so the user doesn't have to do any more
than the original setup.  I have a simple row of buttons and
textboxes at the top of my client for "wimpy hp %" (textbox)
"main combat spell" (dropdown), etc[2].  Inbetween the scroller
and the command input I have a little status area.

[2] same directory as above, myworlds.py defines the logins.
    mytk.py handles the little custom widget setup and is called
    for the 'overdrive' session after you connect.
