I noticed that on my system as well, and you might be correct, although VT7 only gives you a black screen with blinking cursor. You might be right about the 2 x servers: ste...@pc-steven:~$ ps aux | grep gdm root 2215 0.0 0.0 15372 1716 ? Ss 21:15 0:00 /usr/sbin/gdm root 2220 0.0 0.1 15712 3248 ?

Or is this something we can fix in the X configuration?
