Yes. Sorry I tried to use both terms together most of the time (to get
the terminology solidified in peoples minds) but I guess I missed one).

Sorry, I was unclear in my last email.
I've not enabled the ability to start a second X+DM yet (it needs
changes to the DM's themselves which I've not looked at - tho' it should
be pretty simple) such that you can specify the vt to use when they are
started.
Then I'd need to adjust autovt to start a wrapper script that starts
either getty or X+DM as appropriate.
So this isn't in place yet, but I do still think it's the way forward.
Should be possible to get it done I think.
