This is what it usually does: the default /etc/kde/kdm/xservers looks 
like this:

# Examples for multiple local X displays:
# :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt9 -bpp 16
# :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt10 -bpp 8
:0 local at tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp vt7
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp vt8
:2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :2 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp vt9
:3 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :3 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp vt10

The reserve xservers are started by "Start new Session". I'm not sure, 
what this button does. As a workaround I've setup 2 local displays (I 
think 2 are enough), but the second one is not on demand.

Mayby someone from Redhat call tell, why this feature is disabled in the 
versions of gnome and kde shipped with fedora.

Thanks a lot

Christoph
