i did this with gdm - maybe it will work for you:

in /etc/gdm.conf, find the [servers] section.  there should be a line 
like this:

   0=Standard

i added the following lines under that:

   1=Standard
   2=Standard

restart gdm:

/etc/init.d/gdm restart

now there are three GDM login screens available; you can switch between 
them with ctrl-alt-f7 / ctrl-alt-f8 / ctrl-alt-f9.

i use this so that my wife and i can have our own desktops up and 
running simultaneously.
