    Well, in RedHat 6.x, 7.x, any user can launch another X server with startx
    by appending the options -- :1, telling the X server to run at screen :1.
    Or they could use screen :2, :3, etc...

    Of course, they don't have to use startx or xinit to launch the X server,
    they can launch X directly by calling the apropriate server for the display
    card: /etc/X11/X :1

    Also, there is another X server (Xnest) that just runs as a client of another
    X server.

    The trouble with computers is that they do what you tell them, not what
you want.
