I am going (not guaranteed I will succeed, though) to make win32k.sys 
"session" aware.  Acceptation of term "session" I used is uncommon, 
because it means a "user session fully managed by the CSR". This means 
making the CSRSS.EXE "session" aware too. As the first step in that path 
is splitting CSR core (CSRSS.EXE+CSRSRV.DLL) and Win32 server core 
(BASESRV.DLL+WINSRV.DLL), "session"s will be a facility free to use for 
any conforming server DLL.

If any hint from your investigations emerges, please post it here (full 
range accepted: from "crazy idea!" to "fantastic! I rewrote the csr last 
night...").
