Hello,

I just installed it and, yes, unfortunately it is still there.

For a moment I thought its gone, because after X started and the startup 
screen of KDE is displayed I could still switch to the console. But after the 
KDE startup is finished I can no longer switch, or rather, I get the blank 
screen behind which the console might be hidden. Maybe this gives further 
insight in what might be the problem? E.g. some special graphics funcion 
enabled only after KDE is up and running. However, I don't have compositing 
enabled, which is the only thing that came to my mind... If I can help with 
any further checks, please tell me so.

Cheers,
Carsten
