+Not if the change in behaviour was between systemd 44 and systemd 185
+(or udev 181 and usev 185). Then this is mostly expected.

+I don't think so as if this were the case, downgrading the systemd
+package would not cause things to work again...
+
+Also, I think this also affected Dexter Morgan in KDM+KDE so I don't
+think it is gnome related.
+
+I think it's somehow a product of the environment that starts X, either
+by not setting the tty settings for the pseudo console or something like
+that...
+
+I'll need to poke upstream some more, but the long term solution is
+likely the same as we're gearing up for a tty-less word with Wayland
+anyway so anything that relies solely on the tty to inherit things from
+is probably flawed by design (and I'm talking purely design here - I do
+not even want to enter into any kind of discussion about not enabling
+ttys as it's not something I care to think about for a long time -
+doesn't hurt to keep it in mind tho')
