VTs become blank and unusable after "sudo stop lightdm".

All I want to do is stop unity-system-compositor so I can run and test my own server. So I:
  sudo stop lightdm
This works, but it leaves me with a black screen and no opportunity to switch VTs. The system is essentially unusable till you ssh in and "sudo start lightdm".

WORKAROUND:
Switch to VT1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) before stopping lightdm.
