Well, I never had trouble _keeping_ partners, it was getting them...  But
I've been married for almost 22 years, thanks :-)

Absolutely, but this isn't someone learning a new system - it certainly
smacks of someone coercing Ubuntu into a very _old_ form.  Starting X from
your console using startx went out of fashion about a decade ago.  Ubuntu
isn't intended to have X started out of somebody's console, so I just don't
like to see people complaining about getting console messages on a terminal
that Ubuntu wouldn't have used.  If he'd been using Ubuntu as it was
intended, he wouldn't have had an issue (and probably would never even have
noticed)
