Look for the [servers] section in your /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file. 
Uncomment the line that says "#1=Standard". At the next reboot, 2 X 
servers will be started, and you will get 2 GDM login screen on VT7 and 
VT8, and you can have 2 graphical logins and switch between them with 
CTRL-ALT-F7 and CTRL-ALT-F8. I had this working on my system quite 
satisfactorily. Some problems that you may encounter include the 
inability of the second login to play any sounds, because the first 
login's esd will have grabbed /dev/dsp. A solution I found was to launch 
esd with the -promiscuous flag, and that allows both logins to play 
sounds. I have forgotten how I did that, but I am sure you will be able 
to figure it out.
