I fired up two instances of krdc (on separate monitors, great having 
more than one ;-) ), logged into the same (W2k3) machine as the same 
(local) user, started a Cygwin session on each, and ran:
$ for f in `seq 100 200` ; do sleep 0.1 ; echo $f ; done
(I used `seq 500 600` for the other one)

...and watched both of them spit out numbers at the same time. It's not 
exactly full-motion video, but it was certainly timesharing two active 
login sessions as the same user. I'm not sure what else you're looking 
for, but it sure seems to me that it works just fine.

Oh, and I also fired up Xephyr, dropped an xterm in it, and ran 
'startkde'... as I write this, I have two KDE desktop sessions running 
(one nested) as the same user.

I have yet to see a single good reason (other than "because stripping 
advanced functionality is the Gnome way") not to support multiple X 
sessions as the same user.

I was recently amused by issuing 'rm -rf $KDEDIR'... from Konsole, while 
in a KDE session. And nothing bad happened whatsoever. Try THAT on 
Windows :-D.
