Oh no, don't do another one howto, please. (see my next email)

Some days ago I answered to you in what mess we're living (search for 
<494EE380.1040506 at c3sl.ufpr.br>). You won't be able to initialize more 
than one X server so soon. That's the reason why people is still using 
nested servers (like Xephyr) under a multi-head Xorg to deploy the 
multiseat model.
