You could also leave DontVTSwitch on all the time and set a keyboard
shortcut to run chvt (man 1 chvt) with appropriate permissions and
parameters instead.  Keyboard shortcuts shouldn't get processed if the
screen is locked.

+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 Thanks for the idea+ACE  It won't work as is for me because I
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 already use
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 some non-default xkb options.  But it is closer than anything
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 that has
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 come up yet.  I'll get there.

+AD4 +AD4 Okay, I got it to work in a brute force way: I just added another
+AD4 +AD4 setxkbmap command to set my normal options, the same ones as in my
+AD4 +AD4 xorg.conf.
+AD4 +AD4 
+AD4 +AD4 But something weird happens when I try the fancy way: saving the
+AD4 +AD4 options
+AD4 +AD4 with +ACI-setxkbmap -print +AD4-FILE+ACI and then restoring them with +ACI-xkbcomp
+AD4 +AD4 FILE+ACI.  It seems that the change I make with +ACI-setxkbmap -option
+AD4 +AD4 FOO+ACI is
+AD4 +AD4 never reflected in the output of +ACI-setxkbmap -print+ACI.
+AD4 +AD4 
+AD4 +AD4 Looks like another place with multiple +ACI-levels+ACI of configuration
+AD4 +AD4 stepping over each other.
