Hi there, The problem you're seeing is that the programs you're using assume that you'll only run one copy per-user - they aren't capable of running as the same user but on different desktops. This is a long-standing issue with many Gnome applications, if I remember correctly.
You can either kill the existing running processes on your console desktop, or use the VNC module for XFree86 to remote your console desktop. Please see the online docs for further details.
