This is seems to be a bug for gnome-terminal, not the x session. But the 
log looks a little familiar.

This is similar, but not quite as raw as what I experience. I don't have 
to exit one of the x sessions, only start x from tty1 and the greeter 
spawned x will crash.

However, starting an x session on tty1 and then log in on tty2 as 
another user, I can happily switch between tty1 and tty2.

I'll get a log from x tomorrow. I keep wondering if it is down to the 
'-novtswitch' option added to xorg by lightdm. However, these steps at 
the top of the thread will reproduce in a qemu vm, and that uses gdm, 
maybe systemd does something weird with vt7?
