Can Qubes support multiple X sessions in dom0?
I guess you want to see VMs in separate X sessions. Without speaking of user
management, yes it can but currently gui-daemon is running on DISPLAY=:0
waiting for all VM start/shutdown and starting a proper server for them. In
your case of having multiple DISPLAY, that would mean to adapt the automatic
start of each deamon per VM.
Actually I think that the virtual desktops (four by default) can
substitute for having multiple X servers running on private screens.
(Did you ever try Ctrl+Alt+CursorLeft/CursorRight?)
However what I'm missing is the feature to make some VMs (or maybe Apps)
start on a specific virtual desktop.
A possible problem with the window manager is that application popups
(like asking for a password) do pop up on the current virtual desktop
even if the app opening it runs on a different virtual desktop. That can
be quite confusing!
I would say, wait or try the (undocumented) GuiVM implementation in R4.1, that
would ease such use-case/management..
e.g. default session on primary terminal (via ctrl-alt-f1), then start another
session on the third pty (ctrl-alt-f3) after logging in as the primary qubes
user in dom0?
