Hi Ken, That makes sense. Can you check to see if the DISPLAY environmental variable is set? That appears to be a fairly standard kludgy way to determine if the user is in a graphical vs. non-graphical environment. emacs, for example, appears to check for DISPLAY before switching a terminal or X-Windows based UI.
