The virtual consoles will still be around, but really should only be an
emergency fallback.  The right way to do this is to log in via gdm, and
select a session that gives you a fullscreen shell (with tabs, windows,
virtual desktops) etc.

This gives us one supported login path for local machines, and avoids
all the brokenness that occurs with multiple concurrent logins to a
shared home directory.
