From any window manager Ctrl-Alt-F7 is first (default) session, Ctrl-Alt-F8

The Ctrl-Alt-Fn combination is intercepted by X server, so it works in any
window manager.
This is true, but the number of virtual terminals is controlled
by /etc/inittab. Most distros, including SuSE use 1-6 as VTs, and 7 as
the first session, but some, such as KNoppix use fewer virtual
terminals. In any case, both the ability to have multiple desktop
sessions as well as virtual terminals is an excellent feature. It also
emphasizes that the GUI runs on tops of the OS which makes Linux (and
BSD, and MacOS, and commercial Unix) extremely powerful.
I have noticed that Ctrl-Alt-F10 is used for some sort of status
display. Is it possible to move that elsewhere, so that key can be used
for another desktop?
