That is not going to fly, some people don't care about X running as
root, start in "runlevel 3" and want to do stuff like:

startx -- vt7

Which means X must open a new tty and take control of that tty.

I know this is not a very compelling use case, but at least from an
upstream pov we do not want to break any existing use-cases.
