Q: starting second graphical interface at boot?

[Michael Hirsch]

Looking at the startup scripts, it looks to me like kdm is designed to do
just that. in /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc there is a stanza that is labeled
[X-:0-Core].  I think if you add another one labeled [X-:1-Core] you can
get a second one.  You'll want to change it from the defaults, especially
#ServerVT=7
should be uncommented and changed to, say, 8.

Make sure that you are using kdm.  My system defaults to lightdm.  Change
this in  /etc/X11/default-display-manager
