xsession with ctrl-alt-f7/f8

[Paul Sutton]

Hi


If I do ctrl-alt-f2 i get a console, if I try and get back to the 
running xsession with ctrl-alt-f7 it fails, but if I use f8 it works,

when did this change and why ? I am sure it used to be on F7.

Btw this seems to be the case on xubuntu but I am guessing that this is 
the route taken by *ubuntu generally recently,  is it linked to the move 
to SYSD from SYSV or just been moved to give more console screens.
