Try setting the environment variable XF86CONFIG and start X with startx
when the user is logged in

As mentioned on "man XF86Config" XFree86 search the following places for
the configuration file (I have not tried this)

/etc/X11/<cmdline>
/usr/X11R6/etc/X11/<cmdline>
/etc/X11/$XF86CONFIG
/usr/X11R6/etc/X11/$XF86CONFIG
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
/etc/X11/XF86Config
/etc/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config.<hostname>
/usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
/usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.<hostname>
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config-4
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config

Note that X will use the -first- matching file it finds.

You could create /etc/X11/bobby with bobby's X11 preferences, then start X with "-xf86config bobby" to select that you want the alternate config file.
