In all other distros I used it you could switch between F1 and F2 without problems (F1 would still have GNOME running and visible). Sometimes an app freezes GNOME and you need to go to another TTY to kill it, but you can't return back to GNOME so I usually have to reboot in order to fix this (sudo herd restart xorg-server doesn't really fix this either as I can't use evolution or anything that requires pinentry anymore, and I can't reopen some apps because they're already running, etc.). Thanks, Alex
