  This only works on the console of the linux box, it wouldn't work over
the network like you seem to be running it.

  So the viewer for MM would need to be careful and not start up zgv unless
TERM=linux and you were actually on one of the real virtual consoles for
that box.  Would using `tty' and checking if it was in /dev/tty[0-9] be
sufficient?
