Greetings;

I'm not sure what category this minor complaint falls under, but since 
its evidenced by a 2.6 kernel and not a 2.4, this seems like the 
place.

One of the things I've been meaning to mention is that if I'm running 
a 2.6 kernel, and exit X to reboot, the shell that had a cursor when 
I started X from it, no longer has a cursor when x has been stopped.  
This occurs only for 2.6 kernels, but works as usual for 2.4 kernels 
giving a big full character block for a cursor.

One can still type, and the keystrokes are echo'd properly.  But it is 
a bit un-nerving at first.  Logging clear out and back in again to 
re-init the shell doesn't help.  The cursor is gone.
