(Get the code!)
Bilal,
X sends no requests at all to plymouth. The display manager (gdm, kdm, etc) does this; and each of these DMs are patched in Ubuntu to send plymouth a quit request at the appropriate time. If you are not using the Ubuntu 10.04 packages for the display manager, it's possible this is the cause of the problem you're seeing.
plymouth is NOT supposed to quit on 'deactivate' requests, and any patch to make it do this would be rejected.
Anyway, if pressing enter causes X to exit, the problem is most specifically *not* a result of plymouth capturing and responding to these keypresses; it's almost certainly a result of X being started on the wrong VT, one which already has a getty running on it. What VT is X listed as running on in a process list when this happens? (You'll want to switch to another VT and log in on the console to check this.)
