Bug#856662: xorg: starting X within X without specifying -vt destroys current X session



Hello Adrian,

not sure what happened, but something changed the last few days, maybe due to an update.

(Latest update was small: libpgm-5.2-0 libwxbase3.0-0v5 libwxgtk3.0-0v5 libzmq5 orage. I'm not sure if I had more updates in the meantime)

I've had the described bug, but now I get the same error messages as you without crashing X on display :0.
Before sending this bug report, I did further tests in virtualbox. The bug still persists in VirtualBox with guest additions installed. It is gone in virtualbox _without_ guest additions, and it does not happen on my host machine anymore.

:) Nice said. Those command has been possible in debian jessie, stretch behaves different. For example, in jessie I can use vt8...vt12, but not in stretch. But that is another story ...

Not sure if this is related:
Now, if running several X servers on tty1...tty6 with
xinit xterm -- :1 vt1
...
xinit xterm -- :6 vt6
my desktop session (xfce) on display :0 returns to lightdm login after some switching between ttys.

Thanks,
Martin
