Hi Praveen,
Nice article.
There's a couple of other things you can do also:
1. Instead of setting the DISPLAY in the environment unconditionally,
just give it for that specific command:
DISPLAY=:2 gnome-session &
DISPLAY=:1 twm &
...etc...
In [t]csh, you can:
env DISPLAY=:2 <command>
env DISPLAY=:1 <command>
This will avoid cluttering up your environment, and you can keep a
default ``export DISPLAY=:0'' for commands which are run without an
explicit DISPLAY prefix.
2. You can also run multiple gdm's (I use Gnome usually) by editing
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf . At the end, add lines like:
1=/usr/bin/X11/X
2=/usr/bin/X11/X
to start gdm on multiple displays. Then you can do a seperate login
with a seperate environment on each display. Of course, the rest of
your article applies as it is.
