Comment 95 for bug 532047

@Krug: PS. do you have a founded opinion on my workaround/fix in comment #91 ? My systems seems a bit slower to the desktop while booting, but I haven't had the problem manifest itself. I might start explicitely logging the virtual terminals for any X sessions somehow so I can be sure that I'm actually on vt7 now).

To me the approach is a bit 'iffy' because I'd really think that X should work without problems on a vt2 (e.g. when people have disabled vt2-vt6 for many plausible reasons). Now, if this is really just a race condition somewhere, my approach could be a good starting point (just synchronize stuff). But perhaps, the root cause is more a false assumption about virtual terminal allocation numbers. vt7 has been grafted in collective linux memory over the last decade(s?)...
