Hi, I would like to be able to attach a second client to the X server 
running on my machine so that I can have two desktop environments
running at the same time for two different users(ex. gnome and KDE).  

When I am logged in as one user and I issue startx everything comes up exactly
the way it should.  Then if I switch back to a virtual terminal, login as
another user, and issue startx I get the following output to stderr.

#Begin output
Server error:
Server is already active for display 
        if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
        and start again.


When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages


Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
giving up.
xinit:  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.
#End output

I feel that my machine should be able to handle more than one connection to the
x server (AMD 400/128 meg Ram).  I am also interested in finding a way to
connect to an X server across a LAN.  Is there a howto related to this sort of
thing????


Thanks

Timothy Lillicrap
