I've implemented a configuration variable, "xserver-allow-vt-switch", which inhibits the hard-coded "-novtswitch" flag.
I've emailed the patches to the maintainer and have pushed the changes to the "vtswitch" branch here: https://github.com/davvid/lightdm/commits/vtswitch I hope this helps others. I'm on sid and this is still an issue, so I figured I should try and fix it... cheers, -- David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
