gdmflexiserver should launch another server login. I just tried this to
see if it still worked. I could launch a KDE server account as well as
my present gnome account.
Permission issues remain on which console user should own which devices.
If you wat to run different desktops, it works for me. No sound in KDE
though, The Gnome user account owns the sound.

Interesting.  We ought to have Gnome/KDE agnostic pieces to control
access to hardware and fundamental services.  Is that feasible?
The current situation is pretty sub-optimal.

I think it is Gnome/KDE agnostic, the first login grabs the devices regardless if it is KDE or Gnome.

What would be needed would be some kind of sound server that was owned by
root that could serv sound for various users. The next problem would be what should be allowed. You quicly run into security problems with this. E.g. You swich user with a friend that run a telephony application, should the next user still be able to use the sound input.
