Could this be systemd? My only thoughts are that systemd starts the x 
server on a vt, but ctrl-alt-f6 doesn't have permission to swtich back 
to the vt. The x process has a '-novtswitch' argument which looks 
suspicious to me. I tried to change that in the lightdm conf, but it 
seems to be appended as an argument to the program (maybe hardcoded).

I think virtualisation replaced a lot of the requirement for most people 
to have two displays running. I find user separation sufficient for most 
working-from-home tasks without needing to store a virtual disk image.
