Comment(by cscott):

 mtd: can I get some more information about how your patch is expected to
 work?  Why were we originally setting tty to tty2?  If this was previously
 completely broken, why didn't we notice?  Why is removing the assignment
 of controlling tty the right thing to do?  If I understand correctly, this
 code was originally lifted from gdm -- why is this the right thing for gdm
 to do, but not for us?

 Removing code like this makes me very nervous absent a good explanation.
