I have tried it with both the standard and graphical greeters. I started out with the graphical greeter and changed to standard to see if thatwould fix it, but the problem remains. For a while, I just restarted from the gdm menu because I didn't realize it would let me switch vt's. So, theoretically, this should be fixed in a much anticipated update of gdm2?
