This is seems to be a bug for gnome-terminal, not the x session. But the
log looks a little familiar.

This is similar, but not quite as raw as what I experience. I don't have
to exit one of the x sessions, only start x from tty1 and the greeter
spawned x will crash.
However, starting an x session on tty1 and then log in on tty2 as
another user, I can happily switch between tty1 and tty2.
I'll get a log from x tomorrow. I keep wondering if it is down to the
'-novtswitch' option added to xorg by lightdm. However, these steps at
the top of the thread will reproduce in a qemu vm, and that uses gdm,
maybe systemd does something weird with vt7?
