9 I've never quite understood why it's Ctl-Alt-F7 which returns,
10 when the TTY's involved seem to be 1 & 2 . In fact,
11 I've suppressed higher-numbered TTY 3-6 in /etc/inittab .
12 Another test reveals that Ctl-Alt-F3 returns to the X session,
13 so perhaps the command to return uses the next free F key.
14 Can anyone confirm that ? Anyway the problem is solved.
