Hi

Running FC17 with LXDE -- I did not load any gnome packages off the install
DVD.

--

I want two or three X11 sessions running simultaneously as user1 on tty1
user 2 on tty2, user 3 on tty3 ...

1) I have one active LXDE desktop on pts/0 as user1 running perfectly from
the startup scripts

2) Switching over to tty2 -- I login into user2  and type startx -- :1 ...

3) "failed to load session gnome" appears X windows error screen.
... later the error messages are:

a) xauth: file /home/user2/.serverauth.xxxx does not exist"
b) config dir /etc/X11/X0rg.conf.d
c) system config dir:  /usr/share/X!!/xorg.conf.d

I'm guessing the problem is in the /etc/X11/xinit directory ... based
on:running:

find /etc/X11/ -type f | xargs grep -i3 gnome

... reveals a lot of specific code for gnome but not LXDE

What do I need to change ?? Or .. I'm always up for the better idea to get
these multiple sessions up and running. :-)

Thanks !!
