Gnome Taking Over Terminal

[Robert Spangler]

Hello, does anyone else have this issue?  When I switch from a gnome 
session with ctrl+alt+f2 (to switch to a new console) and I log in with 
my user account, which is the same as I am using in gnome, often I lose 
speech entirely and the console locks up.  I am able to log into another 
tty but I have to use a different user account, or root, or else the 
same things occurs again.  Also, i have read that gnome is put on tty 7 
but mine seems to be on tty1 both when I start it with startx or use gdm.
