I guess the thing I am really missing is 'why'?   I use x2go as a
substitute for sitting at an X console and can't think of a reason why
I'd want to plug in another real console on the same machine to log in
as the same user.   Is there some advantage to concurrent sessions
that you wouldn't get from Gnome's virtual screens or similar
approaches to clutter reduction?
