Actually I'm not using the user switcher applet because I'm using KDE. 
There I have to switch between sessions with Ctrl-Alt-F7 / Ctrl-Alt-F8. 
It seems the user switcher applet needs gdm which I don't like. However, 
you mentioned xnest which looks quite promising - thanks for the hint. I 
will try to use that program in the future if I need a separate session.
