Bilal,

X sends no requests at all to plymouth.  The display manager (gdm, kdm,
etc) does this; and each of these DMs are patched in Ubuntu to send
plymouth a quit request at the appropriate time.  If you are not using
the Ubuntu 10.04 packages for the display manager, it's possible this is
the cause of the problem you're seeing.

plymouth is NOT supposed to quit on 'deactivate' requests, and any patch
to make it do this would be rejected.

Anyway, if pressing enter causes X to exit, the problem is most
specifically *not* a result of plymouth capturing and responding to
these keypresses; it's almost certainly a result of X being started on
the wrong VT, one which already has a getty running on it.  What VT is X
listed as running on in a process list when this happens?  (You'll want
to switch to another VT and log in on the console to check this.)
