+</I>&gt;<i> They can be, but I'd vote that this should change. e.g. if you have a
+</I>&gt;<i> setup where you &quot;typically&quot; have two users logged in and session 1 is
+</I>&gt;<i> always &quot;Dad&quot; and session 2 is always &quot;Mum&quot;, if Mum knows that she does
+</I>&gt;<i> ctl+alt+F2 to switch to her session when she is logged in, however in
+</I>&gt;<i> order to login, Dad has to already be logged in and either select the
+</I>&gt;<i> Switch User option, or do so from a logged screen.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> But say there has been a power cut and the machine is rebooted, Dad
+</I>&gt;<i> hasn't logged in but Mum wants to use &quot;her&quot; session on VT2 because
+</I>&gt;<i> that's what they are both used to.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> If she presses ctl+alt+f2 when at the login prompt, all she sees is a
+</I>&gt;<i> text login, this will be confusing to her. However if it spawns a new
+</I>&gt;<i> graphical login, then she'll appreciate she's not logged in yet and log in.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So stand by my original suggestion that if you are running a graphical
+</I>&gt;<i> target, Switching to a TTY to get a &quot;login prompt&quot; should show you a
+</I>&gt;<i> graphical login prompt. If however you are only in the text level
+</I>&gt;<i> (multi-user.target) then you should be given text logins.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Col
+</I>
+i think graphical users will use graphical ways of getting to their session
+(as does my wife), usually the current session is locked and she switches to
+her own, or she switches to her own, which causes mine to be locked.
+
+even i do it like this instead of pressing ctrl+alt+Fx ...
