I use startx, so it is much simpler for me.

Thanks a lot for that 'deallocvt'. That's all the things I need. I don't 
have console-kit-daemon or gdm running, so it is much simpler for me.

I don't have the console-kit package, so it is not the cause. Please go

proper places if necessary, as my experiences tell me. 

Thanks again!
