This isn't an X issue. Because many apps don't distuingish state from configuration cleanly. For example: you configure your gnome panel to include a clock applet. Then you open another session and add a network monitor applet to it. What do you expect from this? That both panels will always stay perfectly in sync and the network monitor applet is transparently added to the first session as well? When you log out from both, what happens when you log in again, do you get the panel layout from the first session or from the second session? Also, most WMs support multiple desktops, which is basically the same as multiple sessions. The question is: is it worth bothering at all with questions like the panel question above? Since the feature is redundant we might simply say: forget it, let's disable multiple logins and the problem is gone.
