The question you answered I worded poorly. $SUBJECT (as modified by single 
word addition) is the important question. I really don't care which of :0, :1 
or :2 go on vt7, vt8 or vt9. I only care that the first session started, 
whether by KDM or not, go on vt7; that the second, whether that be :0 or :1 
or :2, go on vt8, and that the third, whether :0 or :1 or :2, go on vt9. I 
don't want to have to think about whether I'm starting a first or later 
session to which vt it should be directed. That used to be automatic, and 
still should be able to be, beginning on vt7, if only one can know what can 
configure it to be as it was.
