On a default desktop system why should we expect users to have any use for non-X virtual terminals? Unfortunately, many of us, use them when we have a problem (program hangs, etc) We need to be "forced" to use them same GUI tools (Gnome-System-Monitor) that the average user would try to use to kill a crashed program.

Notes: Proposal just for desktop. Also, make it relatively easy to turn them back on.

Dependencies:
Requires not using uSplash and just going to X really fast?

Possible Benefits:
Saved Memory: 5-10 Megs? (peanuts but still)
Slicker/Faster Bootup: priceless
No way to accidentally find themselves at a VT
Mostly for the average user

Possible Negatives:
If our GUI tools aren't up to the task of recovering from some crashes
Mostly for the developer/advanced user
