This is the case for my home system.  I can't speak to the system at
work, since I don't have access to it right now.

Nope.  On both machines, I had a MATE session running, and used aptitude
to upgrade from a MATE terminal.  Since I'm the only user of both
machines (they're laptops), I never log in more than once on the same
machine, unless you define "logging in" as entering the screensaver
password, which I actually do very frequently.
