So you'll need to specify a displaynumber.  startx -- :1 might do the
trick.  If not, an actual error message would be the only way to help
you.

I don't really understand what your point is here.  Of course running
sytem-config-display will require the root password and will write the
xorg.conf file in /etc/X11.  That's the only xorg.conf the system will
use, you don't make a per-user config.

In Gnome you just have to edit the menus (via a right click on the
main menu) and enable the "New Login" entry under System Tools.  You
could also just run gdmflexiserver from the command line.
