On my kubuntu machine (10.04), if I switch to a virtual terminal, when I 
try to go back to my X session, it's gone.

Can anyone point me to documentation about how virtual terminals are 
related to X sessions now?


An internet search tells me that lots of people like virtual terminals, 
and nobody seems to notice that as of some point in the past, they can't 
get back to their X sessions anymore.  This tells me I must have 
something misconfigured (i.e. configured in a way that wasn't foreseen or 
cared about by the people who made whatever changed that killed virtual 
terminals for me).  But I haven't a clue in what way.

TIA
