I think it's more simple than that.  I'm fairly sure that if he'd
pressed Alt-rightarrow or Alt-leftarrow or Alt-F2 he'd have found
himself at a working console.  Depending on how X is configured you can
find yourself with a completely blank console as well as the extra one
that X uses.  I don't know why, I'm no expert on X, but it's happened to
me before.
