Well, on RH 6.1 using runlevel 3, the X sessions are assigned to
Ctrl-Alt-F7...F12 in the order they are started, regardless of which
console they're started from. At least that has been my experience,
though I've actually never started 6 X sessions. I have done 4.
I believe the above to be the "standard" way of doing it. Not all
distro's do it that way though. Caldera, with their first distro to use
KDE and runlevel 5, awhile back, did some "non-standard" stuff.
Typically, after a boot, I login as 'root' on vc 1, then Ctrl-Alt-F2 and
login as my user. From there I do a 'startx', which puts the user X
session at F7. Then I go to F1, and have 'root' do a 'startx -- :1', for
a second X session, which gets assigned to F8. Why? I don't always start
an X session for root.
