It's not very clear why you want to do that (understanding why helps telling
how), but here's my best shot.

This will start a gnome session in display :1, accessible with CTRL+ALT+F8.

su - other_user
# only users knowing the cookie can connect on display
xauth add :1 . `mcookie`
# start new display and run gnome session
xinit `which gnome-session` -- :1

Note `which gnome-session` may need to be expanded to the real path (ex
/usr/bin/gnome-session or whatever). I had problems using `which` in the
past.
