I can reproduce the problem and experience almost the same behaviour as
Francesco. For me, it only happens when X is started on tty1 but Ctrl+D
on any other terminal takes you back to tty1. Usually the GUI is still
displayed but on occasion I have been returned to a screen with just a
portion of the Xorg log on it; the machine itself is still responsive
to X's mouse and keyboard after this.

My experience in step 7) in the first mail isn't quite the same. I get
a screen having a portion of the Xorg log with Ctrl+Alt+F1. The machine
is functional. Any other A-Z key presses end up on the login prompt of
tty2. gpm mouse also pastes to tty2. (Wouldn't this indicate actually
being on tty2 although an Xfce screen is the one visible)?

The machine is an up-to-date testing with Xfce. Using fvwm makes no
difference. Two logs are attached.

Regards,

Brian.
