      Description of problem:

      Xapplications are not initiating randomly on direct system console.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)
      xterm-295-3.el7_9.1

      How reproducible:

      Always (randomly)

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1) Login to Gnome Desktop Environment (Gnome Classic)
      2) Login as a normal user, open gnome-terminal, then start xterm from gnome-terminal.
      3) If xterm comes up, log out and start over again until xterm does not come up.
      Sometimes takes 25-30 tries, but it eventually happens.

      I was able to reproduce this a few times on freshly installed RHEL 7.9 system, took me 25+ attempts each time.

      Not reproducible over RHEL 8 and RHEL 9.

      Actual results:
      Xterm does not initiate randomly.

      Expected results:
      Xterm should initiate always.
