When running two X sessions (KDE Plasma), I've found that the currently inactive one seems to get "hibernated" somehow. I couldn't find an answer online because all questions I found were about SSH timeouts and whatnot.
What do you mean by 'two X sessions'? Starting 2 copies of the X server? Wouldn't they, by default, collide on ports?
Back in the day I used to run multiple X sessions all the time, I'd run one per screen and they'd share mouse / keyboard. It meant that while you couldn't drag windows between screens you could change workspace / virtual desktop on one montor and it wouldn't change on the other. Not sure if any DE's support that properly anymore but enlightenment implements the functionality without needing multiple x servers.
