Yeah, it sounds like it. I don't use KDE, though I predict that computer
user #2 would rather like KDE (I'm also going to suggest she try out
XFCE).
Do you know the backend of how KDE does this? From the discussion, it
sounds like it probably uses virtual terminals with a nice polish.
It looks like somewhere amongst gdmflexiserver and X virtual terminal
configs I will be able to fix this problem but good.
Thanks everyone.
