>Description:
Default binary snapshot (1.6P) installation as well an upgrade to 1.6Q,after starting the X Window (startx) it's lagging two - three seconds 
before you get in front tty5 with the X Window on your screen. In those two - three seconds you see output from tty1 (console by default), I don't 
know if it can be considered insecure, but don't think it's a clean design. Supposing as user you executed X from tty2 and root is on tty1 you 
see output from root as well if you're quick enough you can run commands from tty1 while X is still starting.

I don't know as I said if it's important, because if you can start X local 
from your pc you also can see tty1 with alt + F1. But don't think it's clean the design.
>How-To-Repeat:
login as a user, example root on tty1 (console)... as another user on tty2 
and run X from tty2, you'll see output from user root and can input anything while lagging to start X.
