So the in-ability to run multiple headless dogtail sessions, or just a dogtail
session simultaneous to a gnome desktop is not available due to a limitations
in gnome.  Could this restriction be lifted by, for instance, telling dogtail
to use an entirely virtual or constructed GNOME session?  Perhaps a bug against
GNOME could be filed?

Testing, while clearly important, is often the most difficult activity to
encourage.  Keeping that in mind, I think it is really important that we keep
all potential barriers to entry minimized, and to that end having a UI test
framework that has zero cornered limitations is very important.  If we don't to
that we'll be faced with the constant and perenial assertion of << testing is
too hard >>.
