Hey, we already have this feature! At least for drivers able to open
several _true_ devices (i.e. windows in X) for one driver, as we
really just open new window of existing links instance instead of
starting new one - like in text mode but with some limitations as may have
only one graphics driver at a time (braindead twibright design,
global variable for graphics driver), so it is impossible to interoperate
between different X-servers :-(
