Maybe no answer because most people who want to run a second X instance don't
use a login manager to do it. Instead, they login on a vtty, then:
startx -- :1
to start one on tty8, or
startx -- :2
to start one on tty9. In well over 10 years using KDE, I don't recall ever
seeing instructions how to get a second KDM instance configured or started.
