A simple question: Why would I want to drop to runlevel 3 in the first

Ctrl+Alt+F1
then init 3
This would stop X.
Differ from jusy typing
Ctrl+Alt+F1?
This would leave X and all apps running. Use Ctrl-Alt-F7 to go back to X.
You might want to go to runlevel 3 to change X drivers, which you
wouldn't want to do with X running.
