The whole "ownership of the console" thing is really a Linux bug, because X is never the owner of /dev/console - it's the owner of /dev/tty7 You could start a "console owner" job on a different tty, but then when you switched back to VT7, X would get then hangup again. The right fix is to eliminate all uses of "console owner" (which is clearly wrong) and get rid of it.
