Forgot the & after the 2 Hi,
I have never used xdm, gdm or kdm. In fact I hate them. If I want to start X I type startx. If I want to start X of another WM in another VT I type in the terminal for example: startx /usr/bin/gnome-session -- :2& or startx /opt/kde/bin/startkde -- :2& or whatever WM. Now you can put this in a small sript may be call it WM2 and start it from a terminal. That's not automatic as such but I know in Fedora and KDE such scripts can be started automatically after the WM or desktop is up and running.
