Yes, well. That’s a relatively recent occurance. The concept was to give
people a desktop environment they could work in so as not to have to muck
around with remote X etc etc.
Sadly, we didn’t get to that.
I did have work around here that gave us “-nox” variants without the
windowing, and a desktop environment. What I couldn’t get working was
instant-login of the user without rebooting the Vagrant instance. Really
wish I could find that work right now
