Revert "Add option to lock TTY switching" #241

Closed stapelberg closed 5 years ago

This reverts commit dcfcba3ed48587f607dd37f08dcf55b731dc2303.

As-is, this requires i3lock to be run with too many permissions, for a feature which many users will never need. In issue #231, we concluded that interested users are better off using a dedicated virtual console locker such as vlock(1).
