If you're using a display manager, this is usually due to a race condition which causes the X server and display manager not to use the same VT. Display managers usually work around this by passing vtX explicitly on the X server command line. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
