I might add that at least GDM in Fedora doesn't allow the same user to
log into multiple graphical sessions (attempting to do that returns to
the original session), probably exactly because desktop apps in general
aren't designed to cope with multiple simultaneous sessions.
But you can ssh to the box and launch gnome-session manually. But gnome
is broken in many other ways too. It is also quite broken if you enable
gdm listening for remote X11 connections for traditional X11 terminal
and two or more users login simultaneously. Or did they already drop
support for that altogether? Fedora is particularly focusing on
single-user desktop model omitting lot of traditional unix multi-user
cases. Unix has been designed as concurrent multi-user system and should
be kept as such.
KDE is in much better shape in that regard. I think I also tested
XFCE/LXDE without big issues.
Traditional Unix way is to have one server running XDM listening for
remote connections and then multiple clients launch X11 servers
connecting to it. I've used it many times to allow Windows users develop
software on Linux without having to run Linux. They just install for
example this (Finnish software):

and connect to the Linux system and get a full desktop environment to
work on. Just one single shared server is needed.
Old school way is to just have serial console sessions through these

or alternatively ssh.
