[X-Unix] >console login problems

[gurple]

Sorry to be coming to this a little bit late. There are certain daemons 
that for some reason require CoreGraphics and various other higher 
level systems to be running. What I'd guess is kickstarting parts of 
the GUI after login in as console is that you've got Apple Remote 
Desktop enabled under the sharing tab in the System Preferences. I'm 
also assuming that you're running 10.3.x. Try turning off Remote 
Desktop and then dropping to the console. If the GUI parts still kick 
back in you should be able to ssh in (if it's running) and reboot the 
system nicely.

Cheers,
gurple
