Oh, very good point. Let's try again. In the attached patch, all the
logic is handled in event.d/prefdm. In particular, when we want to
spawn a getty on tty1, we use initctl to emit a new event
"tty1-getty". This also includes some logic to try to make sure that
the display manager is gdm before assuming that it will be able to
start on tty1.

What do you think?

It's still problematic in that whichever vt you run telinit from will
get gdm, which may not be tty1. (Also, it's just getting a little complex
overall.)

What happens if you aren't on a vt at all (ssh, remote X, vncserver, freenx, etc.?).
