Well, I'm ultimately concerned with 4 Xephyr sessions on top of a regular
X session, running on 4 hardware displays with 3 logins and one autologin.
 (Hey, why start small???!  :-) )

Right now the best approach I've found is a laptop next to my 4 headed box
that I can restart GDM from.  It's a bit more complicated but at least gdm
doesn't have too many dependencies and seems to work pretty well without a
'make install' - letting me run the test version from the build dir and
then doing a 'killall X Xephyr gdm && /etc/init.d/gdm restart' to get back
to the normal session.

You are an adult when you realize that everyone's an idiot sometimes. You
are wise when you include yourself.
