Actually, in this case I Started Xorg by hand, just using Xorg :1 I get a black (or very dark grey depending on the machine) screen with a mouse. the mouse works and I can do Alt-Ctrl-F7 to come back to this display. Then I did the commands above. All the ones directed to this display worked correctly. The ones directed at :1 fail. Possibly I should start Xorg differently to get it to listen differently, but it's failing on both tcp and local connections. I'm reading through the man pages now. This is interesting stuff. Too much for me to learn quickly though. One clue was that this sort of setup counb be overridden in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession but I don't see it. There is also stuff pertaining to this in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config but I wonder if this is truly for Xorg/gdm or whether what I need is somewhere else? All guesses right now.
