Hi all;
I like to use the multiple X login feature, that is, logging in to GNOME as usual, then dropping to terminal 5 and doing a "startx -- :8" to launch another session of GNOME on terminal 8. This worked fine in FC1 and 2, but now in 3, the second session launches fine, and can switch back to the first session on 7, but when switching back to the session on 8 I only get a flashing cursor. Dropping to another terminal, and doing a ps ux, I can see that X and GNOME are running on 8, but I can't get the GUI to come back. Any ideas? This happens on all three of my machines.
Thanks,

Replying to my own question; I found the session that I started on 8. It has moved to 9. So now I have my main session running on 7, and the second session that I started on terminal 5 or 6, and that fired up on 8, has now somehow moved to 9. Can anyone repeat this and if so, what's happening?
I tested this and got F7 for the first and F8 for the second GUI. This is with all updates applied and with both logins from the same user account in gnome.
