I Confirm the bug, as I just migrated from Feisty to Gutsy a couple of days ago.

Logout from the Gnome session causes:
- gdm to restart (Nvidia logo reappears, lots of display flickering)
- the new X windows session to be attached to VT9 instead of initial VT7.

Note: other login/logout will still cause gdm to restart, but the VT stays stuck to VT9.

In /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I can read this:
-----------------------------------------
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
        (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,

.../... then later in file:

(II) Module pcidata: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.3.0, module version = 1.0.0
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.2
(++) using VT number 9

(II) PCI: PCI scan (all values are in hex)

.../... then rest of the file.
-----------------------------------------

So: Would it be a command line script somewhere that requests use of VT9 instead of VT7 ?
