Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
All of a sudden, with no determinable (so far) relation to what application I am running, my Kubuntu KDE session drops me to tty1.
Once, without noticing that it was tty1 and not tty0, I thought my X session had unexpectedly terminated and tried startx. It said that X was already running on tty0 and told me to sudo rm /tmp/.X0-lock only after which it would obey me.
I did that and did startx. Then again after some time it dropped me to tty2. (Perhaps it was then that I noticed the tty number change.)
Now I have never used any of these terminals. I assume that tty0 is the terminal that shows my boot-up messages and tty6 my X terminal. But I have never had a reason to go to terminals other than this. I'm not that much of a geek.
At last, I found that I was able to go back to my X session by using Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or was it F6, I remember not), but still, this sort of behaviour should be happening.

I forgot to say that when I was dropped to the terminal, I had to login again. It was not logged in automatically to my default user. But then again, autologin is not enabled in my system.
