I can only report what I've seen:  Without reserve all the X server
would be started when kdm starts.   With reserve they are started on request
when you use in the K-menu  'Start New Session' (above 'logout "<user>"' and 'lock
screen').   It also looks like that the additional xserver is kill after some
timeout when no one is logging in or when one logs out from these additional
screens.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
