Not quite, but there something similar.
If you're using Gnome 2.4, there's a "New Login" item in System Tools
under the Application menu item. This will create a new X11 session on a
different virtual terminal, complete with (x|k|g)dm. I uses gdm as my
graphical login and the instance on the second X11 session now has a new
item (Quit).
Your current session still exist and you can get back to it either by
selecting the Quit item on the second gdm screen or doing the
Ctrl+Alt+F# where # is the virtual terminal of your original X11 session
(most likely # = 6).
