Firstly, thank you for the answers. But...You have explained how to start X without letting my console opened and that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is a feature. I already know that. The problem I see is: once the X session is locked, it is suposed to LOCK the system and don't let anyone just press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and take it down. Also it shouldn't let people switch to console by Ctrl-Alt-Fx. If it can't have such behavior, using xlock and stuffs like that isn't justified.
Got it?? I'm not discussing on whether to run X by xdm, or by console, or even disabling 'DontZap'. I'm talking about one doing things when it shouldn't.
