Bug Description
Ubuntu Version: 9.10
Expected behavior: If you use startx to initiate your gnome session after a console login, logging out of the gnome session should send you back to the console.
Current behavior: The X Server persists and leaves you with a blank desktop.
How to recreate this bug:
Add "text" to your GRUB boot entry.
Login at the console.
Edit $HOME/.xinitrc to add "exec gnome-session".
Run "startx".
Use the "log out" function from Gnome Panel's Session Indicator Applet.
Further information:
I'm assuming that the desktop's behavior is to terminate and to let GDM take over control. However, since GDM is never initialized, this of course doesn't happen.
