Sure, you can use gdmflexiserver if you have set up flexible servers in
the gdm configuration, or log in to a console and do
startx -- :2

xinit /path/to/session/manager -- :2

experience in this regard (I don't remember a single case where I
couldn't trust X server log output, but maybe I'm just good at
suppressing those memories ;).

That's perhaps the most interesting question. :) Not really more tricky
than why the old settings wouldn't always cause the same behaviour
though.
