I'd recommend creating one user per virtual terminal. I believe this
is possible too with autologon... Else you could create "profiles",
but that's a hassle. Just in case you want to play, try the "-P
PROFILENAME" param to mozilla (IIRC). However, having one user per
terminal shurely is the better solution, and with only a handful of
terminals this should be manageable. In doubt, the gdm.conf should
have the option to create one section per remote display
( like [gdm-ws001:0] or so ), so the autologin-username would
definitively belong into these separate sections.
