second X-session only as root



Howdy folks,

I upgraded from a potato+unofficial Xfree4.1 packages (pbotha) system
that allowed multiple xsessions for all users to a stock woody system
that only allows a second xsession for root.  I didn't change any
configs, and here's the contents of my /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config:

<snip>
### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION
# Do not edit within this region if you want your changes to be
# preserved by
# debconf.  Instead, make changes after the "### END DEBCONF SECTION"
# line.
allowed_users=console
nice_value=-10
### END DEBCONF SECTION
<snip>

If I'm not mistaken, this should allow all users on the console to start
up X via startx.  However, here's what I get when I attempt todo so:

<snip>
startx -- :1 -dpi 32 vt8


warning: process set to nice value 0 instead of -10 as requested

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
        If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
        and start again.
<snip>

any ideas would be greatly appreciated!  thanks guys.
