It will run the X secession as what ever user runs the startx command.
This does not need to be the same user as started the first X secession.
You could also do something like:
su -c "startx -- :1" <user>
to start as a different user without logging in as that user.
Now if what you are after is more then one graphical login screen, you
have to do things a little different. If you are running xdm to mannage
the logins, you can edit the /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file. Find the line:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
Copy it, changing the :0 to :1 for a second login, :2 for a third, ect.
This should produce a login screen for each line. If you start in run
level 5, or run xdm as root, it should work. I have not tried it, so
I may have the syntax a little off, but it should work.
If you use another display manager, there should stillbe the Xservers
file. Look in /etc/X11/kdm for K display manager. Let me know how it
works out if you try it.
