Title:
  unable to logout from gnome when using text based login

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Version: 9.10

  Expected behavior: If you use startx to initiate your gnome session
  after a console login, logging out of the gnome session should send
  you back to the console.

  Current behavior: The X Server persists and leaves you with a blank
  desktop.

  How to recreate this bug:
  Add "text" to your GRUB boot entry.
  Login at the console.
  Edit $HOME/.xinitrc to add "exec gnome-session".
  Run "startx".
  Use the "log out" function from Gnome Panel's Session Indicator Applet.

  Further information:
  I'm assuming that the desktop's behavior is to terminate and to let GDM take over control. However, since GDM is never initialized, this of course doesn't happen.
