Congratulations! This is more a joke, meaning we, devs, do many things
contrary to our preferences. :-)

We have the same conclusion. From now on I will just say OK and comment
only when different from our conclusion (Bruce and I).

OK. And I think that the options not only appear to work but, in your
case (X in vt7) they do work. A comment here is that "have options" is
different from "options work". In some cases, with X in vtN (tested with
N=1,2,3 and 7) if N <7, either Restart or Shut Down does not complete.
You get a black screen, things look like stopped, but hangs, never
powering off (either for good or for restart).

Here is the orthogonal part, but I prefer to take you advice. However, I
will investigate a little further if there is a possibility of getting
the right variant.

First, this was a point of much discussion, and you get the right value:
X should be in the first unused tty, normally 7, so, you are good.
I agree with you. When adding the part about X needing to be in the
first unused tty, normally 7, we can add a comment that the at poweroff
or reboot, the messages will appear in that new "X" tty.

(Embarrassed) you are welcome.

Here, you are using:
sddm-greeter --test /path/to/theme
But from
sddm-greeter --help
you will see that the correct is:
sddm-greeter --test-mode /path/to/theme
--test-mode, not --test
This is valid also for sddm:
sddm --test-mode
Having said that, I cannot assure that this change will solve your
problem. Later on, I will restart in xfce,

Bruce, from my understanding of orthogonal, I'd rather consider Ken's
comment closer to parallel. Angle closer to 0 than to 90°.
Again, thanks to both of you for the discussions.
