Well I thought linux was about being able to choose...

And since there used to be a traditional method of selecting gui vs
non-gui login  by setting id:3:initdefault: or id:5:initdefault: in
the now defunct /etc/inittab I felt like Kubuntu was trying to
coerce me into using my pc someone elses way... Though I must
say that at least Kubuntu still includes a working startx
script And a mechanizim for returning to the login method I
prefer THANK YOU Kubuntu! 

But even If I were using the gui login I'd still want to
access the consoles via <alt>+<ctrl>+<F[1-6]> when planning to
run a root shell to use apt-get or visudo or some such. So I
would have still noticed it...

Please don't misunderstand me though Derek, I'm not
complaining that you seam to feel just as strongly that I
should just use the gui login as I do that the console login
and startx should still be a personal choice... In fact I'd
like to applaud you! You _do_ evidently feel strongly that I
shouldn't still be using startx, and yet you very kindly
included two possible solutions in your original reply.

for this I can only say:

TTTTTTTTTTTT  HH      HH	AA	 NN	 NN  KK 	     SSSS
     TT       HH      HH       A  A	 NNNN	 NN  KK      KK    SS	 SS
     TT       HH      HH      AA  AA	 NN NN	 NN  KK    KK	  SS
     TT       HHHHHHHHHH     AAAAAAAA	 NN  NN  NN  KK  KK	    SSSSS
     TT       HH      HH    AA	    AA	 NN   NN NN  KKKK  KK		 SS
     TT       HH      HH   AA	     AA  NN    NNNN  KK      KK   SS	SS
     TT       HH      HH  AA	      AA NN	 NN  KK        KK   SSSS

It takes a great man to be kind to those he disagrees with...
