Yes, there should be an easier way. I run XFCE4, not KDE. Supposedly - and this has worked on other systems - if I set the XServers file up any new requests will go to the next available window. Thus startx will use display :1 when :0 is already in use and do it automatically. In fact on one system I had it start two or three xdm logins. I think there is something wrong on my system because if I uncomment the :1 line all I get is X with no login window.

'X :1' will start another X session. However, nothing is running. No window manager, no xterm, etc. In order to run programs there you have to 'export DISPLAY=:1.0' in the console and then ex to start kde run startkde. I've had some weird results though. There's probably a much easier way to do it, but I know that works.
