A part of the confusion is due to the fact you insist using a technical word (tty) where the issue seems to be that you would like to use a GDM screen as the standard switch screen (like windows uses its list of users screen). We already discussed using gdm when locking screen by example, with a list of users to pick what session to use. Marking the bug as rejected since that's rather upstream material or a point for a specification (maybe you can look on the GDM specifications already present on wiki.ubuntu.com) and we don't need an another bug about that. Feel free to reopen if you disagree
