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?
I can do it easily enough while using XFCE. Exit Menu, Switch user. I can then start another session as another user with Plasma, for instance. Nother method. In my notes I have: startx kde -- :1 that would start another desktop, bypassing the window manager. The collisions I have seen were when using the same user for both sessions, because the desktops would use the same files for writing, twice. When using the first described method, typically going from one desktop to the other (ctrl-alt-f8 or f7) locks the departing desktop, and I suspect it switches the "seat". Sound stops on the departing desktop, for instance. Maybe Plasma does more, like "pseudo hibernate" the departing session to conserve resources in the machine for the active seat. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
