Ok,  I got 4 x sessions going at the same time.  I got into a virtual term 
Ctrl + Alt + F1 , logged in and typed the following
Startx -- :1
x started up with windowmaker.  I was then able to swithch between 
windowmaker and gnome (sawfish).   Ctrl + Alt + F7 and Ctrl + Alt + F8.  I 
then tried to test it even further by logging in 2 more terminals and startx 
in each one with startx -- :2 and startx -- :3.  It worked.  I'd like to get 
different window managers going at the same time and get a windows person and 
say "can windows do this?".  

In one of the Xsessions I had the screensaver running as the background.  I 
did a "locate screensaver" found the directory they were in cd to that 
directory and ran "pyro -root".  For some reason gnome did nothing but 
windowmaker had the fourth of July going with a window open.  This is another 
thing windows can't do straight out of the box with a screensaver.  

If anyone else has some cool x tricks share them.  I thought others might 
like to try this.  I wonder how many sessions I could have gone to.  I 
suspect 6.
