It's a bug in upstart causing this, bug #470004

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 470004 ***

Actually, this looks more related to bug 475890 to me.

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2009-11-30 23:08:51 UTC
Does changing /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc as suggested in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=374909
fix your issue?

Comment 4 Neal Becker 2009-12-01 01:52:25 UTC
No, that didn't seem to fix it.  After that change, I noticed vt1 was no longer X, X was on 7 IIRC.

After login to console, and then exit shell, I couldn't find the X server on any vt I tried.
Nothing very informative in /var/log/messages.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2009-12-01 13:08:25 UTC
It really is the the upstart bug here.

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2010-10-20 17:28:41 UTC
ok, upststart is fixed and so is this, for the most part (for me using f13/kde-4.5.2),

Minor problem remains:
* Console login tries vt1, which is empty (is what X normally uses)
(I'm not going to worry too much about this atm, probably requires more plymouth-related love/config)

Switching to v2 (or 3 or 4 or whatever), can login, logout, then X starts back up in ~10 seconds.

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2010-10-20 17:30:59 UTC
ok,  dropping tty1 from 
ConsoleTTYs=
in kdmrc makes the cosmetic issue go away, though I'm not scared of other side-effects.  I'll test more.
