For me, it started with stretch and continues with buster (not used
bullseye yet). I installed my first stretch on the lenovo with the
more serious problem—reporting that was the only reason I also
mentioned the spurious CR. (I first thought they might be related,
of course.) I hadn't realised anybody else saw them.

Apologies to Greg, I misuderstood the import of your posting,
thinking that the CR had something to do with configuring a
graphical.target without a DM. Duh. I guess you meant that
someone new to a VC login, after always having used a DM login
in the past, might hit this bug and freak out.

Cheers,
David.
