I am using Xubuntu 14.04. I switched to another virtual console using Ctrl + Alt + F4 there is logged in and typed

startx

A UI session starts fine, then I go my original session using Ctrl + Alt + F7 switches fine, when I come back to the virtual console 4 I see only console with messages and no longer shows the UI session.

It is on the next console up from the default graphical session

Do:

ctrl + alt + F8

If several sessions of the X Window System are required to run in parallel, such as in the case of fast user switching or when debugging X programs on a separate X server, each X session usually runs in a separate virtual console.

Basically so you can see what is going on behind the scenes.
