After logging into the GUI on tty9 and logging out the GUI switches to

The GUI switches from tty8 to tty9 and vise versa after logging out.
Why is that a problem?
You might as well reassign the bug to the kernel or X, or whatever. I
have already verified twice that the GDM code for selecting the TTY is
correct; it is the kernel that reports this or that TTY as being used.
And frankly, as Julien mentioned, there is zero functional impact on
users, so I fail to see why anyone should care.
There's one very obvious functional impact: it makes it difficult to
switch back to the GUI VT after switching to the console. A user hits
Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to the text console, does whatever they needed to do
there, and then has to go searching across Ctrl-Alt-F{7,8,9} to find the
GUI.
