Ctrl+Alt+F1 startx -- :1 

switch between X sessions Ctrl+Alt+F7, Ctrl+Alt+F8

also if you download or whatever is console only try
"screen"

It looks like its built into hoary: 
screen 
wget http://downloaders.com/bigfile
Ctrl+a d
[detached]
then, later come back and do screen -r
to recover your screen and use your download.

Todd
