Ignore requests to change the current @code{tty} respective the X
window system's @code{DISPLAY} variable. This is useful to lock the
What I mean is: The one option changes @code{tty} and the other option
@code{DISPLAY}. Thus I use "respective" similar how we use the same
word in German; I am not sure whether this is correct. However, "with
respect to" is not what I mean.
