yes. for some weird reasons the x-server on vt8 does not finish its
startup if it is not in the foreground. consequently it does not
shutdown, too. as kdm/xdm waits for it, it will wait forever ...
hint: make :1 a reserve display, so the xserver won't linger when
it is not needed. see
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdebase/kdm/README?rev=2.17&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
for details (it will work with kde 3.0, too).
