I just figured out that you can do multiples if you:

System|Administration|Login Window| and uncheck 'Disable multiple logins
for a single user'. That said: it appears that one of the logins can
close out a session with reboot etc and it kills all others with no
notification. This has pretty hazardous effects & I think that there
actually is an old bug report regarding this in
