        If I understand the request (below) you want to get two
        xdm login|xlogin screens on your server.  This much I
        have been able to do.

        First, I <ctl><alt<F-NN> to get a vtty.
        Second, I login as myself (kline) on the v'console.
        Third, I type at the prompt:

          % Xwrapper -query tao :2

        and shortly, a new xdm xlogin pops up.  The ``tao'' above is
        my server; the ``_:2'' indicated the second X server.  :1 might
        well work too.  

        (What I haven't figured out yet is howto do something like

          % Xwrapper -query someOtherSystem :2

         and have someOtherSystem's xlogin show up.  But, fortunately,
         that isn't the question here.)

         Hope this helps....
