Several years ago (jeez, that long.. how time flies - sigh) I was trying to do 
the same thing dvorak, and came to the conclusion to wait for the VT clean 
up.  Now that it looks like it is nearly done, and says it will be in the 
kernel soon, it looks like work on this can begin.

I'm up for helping out on this - although I hope the code hasn't changed much 
over the last few years *grin*.


There seems to be two seperate ways that both need to be implemented:

1) Some way for two (human and unix) users to get their own desktops, 
completely seperated for security reasons etc etc.  As ppl have pointed out, 
either with two seperate servers, or one server with security somehow bolted 
on.

2) Some way for one unix user, but two human users to use the machine.  I.e. 
two ppl share a desktop.  I would like this so that I can work on one half 
one monitor, and gf on other monitor, then if we want each other to look at 
something we can drag it across to each other etc.    This may however be 
emulated somehow from "1)"

btw, is the Arm chip byte addressed or word addressed?  I still can't figure 
at arm architecture, and got an exam on it on monday.. sigh
