If there's a way to do that, it wouldn't be handled by the GUI.  The virtual
sessions, and the Ctrl-Alt-Fx keystrokes, are set up before the GUI starts,
maybe by the init system when the multiuser runlevel starts.  Maybe you
could make a script to determine which graphical sessions are active, then
switch to the next one, and assign the script to a hotkey.  But all that is
way above my pay grade.
