I have been planning to set that up for my kids computer.
Both KDE and GNOME have a feature to switch user. In GNOME, this is
provided by the fast-user-switch-applet (Fast User Switching) and
gdmflexiserver and gdmXnestchooser. KDE has Switch User option on the K
Menu.
It can use Xnest instead of an additional X server.
(I hoped to patch xlock to add option for switching user.)
Here is a way to do it with xdm (and not xnest) in your xdm Xservers file:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 :0
:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt8 :1
Change the path to X for your system.
Change vt7 to vt05 or whatever is appropriate for your system.
Then start X.
Let me know what more specifically you want to do and I will be glad to
help.

p.s. I need feedback and reviewers for a X.org book I am co-authoring.
