Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome
Run two X servers on the same machine by adding the following line in the gdm.conf:
[servers]
0=Standard
1=Standard
Run first session GNOME in the VT7 (by default) and try to run on the VT8 an other GNOME session (with an *other* user than on VT7).
You have strange behaviour from that. The main error you can extract is the approximative error message:
"gnome-panel already running: can't run an other one"
If I check, the only gnome-panel program running is the one of the user of the VT7 session.
I was able to run this config (two X servers with two GNOME sessions with two different users) in the previous Ubuntu version (breezy).
Current version: Dapper. Upgrade from 5.10 and 5.04).
Test on AMD64 and Matrox G550

Does this problem still exist in edgy?
