How would that be two independent GDM sessions? Big desktop is nothing  
more that what nvidia calls TwinView, eg. two monitors presented to  
the xserver as one. You'd still be using one GDM session... even just  
one screen!
I already suggested a Dual-Screen setup, but for some reason the OP  
doesn't want that.

tech, please explain why you need two independent sessions.
