You should never use Desktop.SendKeys(). Besides being a dirty hack, it 
will be impossible to do that with coming Wayland.

To clear a console, you must print the according VT100 sequences. Of 
course, it assumes that your terminal is VT100 compatible, but as soon 
as you don't use your code on true old terminals, it should be ok.

The sequence is "\e[2J".
