I use F11 and after a fresh boot X starts in VT1, but if I logout (not
reboot) and log back in (basically every time gdm is restarted) it goes
to VT7. I believe this is a result of incomplete work when the Xorg
people decided to switch to VT1 from their usual VT7.
Hope this answers your doubts.
You seem to be right Suvayu. I logged out (not restart) and logged back
in. I got the same results as Patrick -- Xorg running on vt7. I then
shut down and rebooted -- Xorg was back on vt1.
