Not as such. A common thing to do is to switch to an X console
(Ctrl+Alt+F1), log in as another user, and have them run
'startx -- :1'; then, with default settings, Ctrl+Alt+F7 will get you
the first X session (on :0), and Ctrl+Alt+F8 the second (on :1). I
think most display managers can be configured to manage multiple X
servers as well.
