> If SAK is killing *init* something else weird is going on, it has nothing to do
with where the X server is.

SAK kills *all* processes on tty1, including all daemons, including init.

Quote from kernel/Documentation/SAK.txt:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
On the PC keyboard, SAK kills all applications which have /dev/console opened. Unfortunately this includes a number of things which you don't actually want killed.

This is because these applications are incorrectly holding /dev/console open. Be sure to complain to your Linux distributor about this!

[vlisivka@apollo 1]$ sudo fuser -v /dev/console
                     USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/console: root 1 F.... init
                     root 1258 F.... rsyslogd
[vlisivka@apollo 1]$ sudo fuser -v /dev/tty1
                     USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/tty1: root 1878 F.... Xorg

SAK on tty1 will kill Xorg and /sbin/init with rsyslogd.
