     141      You can start <application>LXDE</application> from runlevel 3, using

    164       To test if ck-launch-session is needed, run
    165       <command>ck-list-sessions</command> fropm the command line.  If a session
    166       associated with the current tty is present that is both 'active' and
    167       'local' then <command>ck-launch-session</command> is not needed.

     158      The X session starts on the first unused virtual terminal, normally vt7.
     159      You can switch to a vtn (n=1, 2, ...) simultaneously pressing the keys
     160      Ctrl-Alt-Fn. To switch back to the X session, normally started at vt7,
     161      use Ctrl-Alt-F7. If started from vt1 (the usual case), you will see many
     162      messages there, including X starting messages, applications automatically
     163      started with the session, and eventually, some warning and error
     164      messages. You may prefer to redirect those messages to a log file, which
     165      not only will keep vt1 uncluttered, but also can be used for debug
     166      purposes. This can be done starting X with:

     171    <para>
     172      You may wish to drop consolekit and/or dbus-launch, e.g., just using
     173      startlxde in .~/.xinitrc, but some functionalities such as mount/umount
     174      file systems from a file manager will not be possible, or the reboot
     175      option will be absent or not functioning, between other problems.
     176    </para>
     177
     178    <para>
     179      Because X is (normally) on vt7, when you shutdown the vt is switched back
     180      to that one where the command starting it was executed. In this case, if
     181      you wish to see the shutdown messages, simultaneously press keys Alt-F7,
     182      because normally those messages appear on the vt where X was running.
