I turned autogroup on as to not have to muck about creating groups, so
Xorg is in its per session group, and each konsole instance in its.  I
launched groups via testo (aka konsole) -e <content> in a little script
to turn it loose at once to run for 100 seconds and kill itself, but
that's not necessary 'course.  Start 1 hog in 8 konsole tabs, and
mplayer in the 9th, ickiness follows.
