KDM doesn't display any confirm dialog when the user click on the show console menu.
This behaviour is not user friendly and it must be fixed.

the original plan was just outputting a message telling how to get back to x on the text console after switching to it. however, that poses some technical problems, so maybe a confirmation dialog with a verbose help message would be a good idea, indeed. it's not a particularly commonly used function anyway ...

btw, you can configure away the menu point entirely.

SVN commit 1097271 by ossi:

always show confirmation dialog before switching to console mode

the dialog also contains instructions on getting back to text mode.
