it depends if you want the new user to have access to an opengl compositor, hw
accel, games etc or not. if you don't - using xephyr in a locked-in keygrab and
fullscreen mode will do, if you DO want full access you literally have to have
a full new toplevel xserver in a new vt (and hope to hell the drivers don't
barf with 2 x's sharing the same gpu).

you need a new xserver either way (be it xephyr/xnest or a full xorg) for
security reasons.
