[Bug 47008] Re: GDM should have its own virtual terminal

[kko]

Hello.

You have points where I agree with you. The situation happens to be the
same with KDM too: "the present system can quite easily leave a non-
expert user stranded on a blank tty with a flashing cursor".

Also, I agree that "there should be a consistent behaviour (return to
login screen) when a user logs out, regardless of whether someone else
is logged in".

The conclusion stands that login managers could use some love. I
believe, however, that the functionality can be implemented also with
the current systematic, and that it is a matter of taste, whether it
should be implemented by reserving a tty to the login manager or not.

It may be conceptually simpler the way you suggest, or it may be simpler
codewise to just improve on what exists - I don't really know.

Here's hoping that someone shows the login managers some love, either
way works for me, just as long as it works. ;-)
