I've done it that way since 1995.  My experience with Windows indicated
that you should ALWAYS have a command line so you can fix whatever shit
the GUI is spewing.

Yeah, agree fully.

Just to be clear on "that way", it's the full-X, X-only logins I've
never done at home.  As a guest on the Athena system many years ago,
fixing a system problem was far out of my league and mentioning such a
problem could result in a hacker demigod or two lurking over my carrel,
asking to see it repeated.

Nice one.
