OK, so fast user switching then.

&gt;<i> the question is, with the prefdm only conflicting with the first getty, will 
</I>&gt;<i> several X sessions be possible?
</I>
Yeah. They should, in theory at least, start on vt2 and vt3, tho' this
may depend on the desktop itself. With GDM+Gnome the second session
starts on tty2, the third on tty3 etc.

There is a caveat however. If you have switched to tty2 before picking
the &quot;Login as another user&quot; option, then autovt will have kicked in and
started a getty there. It then &quot;hogs&quot; tty2 and prevents X from using it.

Of course if I manage to get my idea working, switching to tty2 when in
graphical.target will actually give you a graphical login prompt anyway,
so pretty much the same thing as picking the &quot;Login as another user&quot;
option from within the first graphical session.
