i guess it takes a bit getting used to, but otoh, the switching back and forth 
did bother me a bit before...

but.

how does this relate to multiple sessions? if it starts at tty1 and next 
session starts at tty2 and so forth, were are the textbased tty's then?

what happens if X doesn't start on tty1 and tries to fall back to console? 
will we have a black screen?
