Hi,
   On my local machines when one user is using the machine I can go to
a terminal using Alt-Ctrl-Fx and then after logging in do 'startx --
:2'. At this point I get a second copy of X running on F8 and I can
use the system while the other user's account remains logged on.

   How do I do this for a remote machine? 

   Assume that I do 

ssh -X -Y -C -c blowfish -l mark IP-address

I'm now logged on successfully to a remote machine. I can run X apps
and display them here successfully. Let's say that I wanted to run
Gnome on the machine at the other end but see it displayed here on
display #2. How can I do that? If I do the same startx -- :2 it
creates a second display at the far end. I'd like to pipe that to a
second display here but I haven't grasped how to do that.

   I know it will be slow but there are reasons I need to use it
occasionally. I figure it won't be any worse (I hope) than running
tight-vnc.

Thanks in advance,
Mark
