For text-mode, one possibility is to determine the profil according to
what is displayed on the screen.
Programs like mutt or emacs, for instance, display a specific screen at
a well-known position. Loading a rofile based on such a criterio would
solve the remote-execution problem. This is, I believe, reliable enough.
Samuel oncetld me that even for non-visually impairedusers, those
strings are whatthey use to remember which program they are using, in a
multi-windows context.
