But this does not work if someone firsts boots into text mode and then starts 
the GUI, either via startx or switching the runlevel. I doubt that someone 
starts the GUI from the TUI without the intent to use the GUI afterwards. The 
logic does also not work if someone wants to use any other tty than the 
current one, because the one the user switches to will always become the one 
used for the most important user interaction. ;-)
