Nope. I use gdm, and I get: $ w -hs root tty1 - 2:19 -bash root tty2 - 2:19 -bash bsamwel tty7 :0 0.00s x-session-manager root pts/1 :0.0 2:09m gnome-terminal bsamwel pts/2 :0.0 0.00s w -hs The first two lines are from virtual terminals, the third one is for tty7 which is what my X is running on, and the final two ones are for terminals.
