This shouldn't be a problem, provided you use different users. Don't try to
run as the same user.
Alternately, you can use 2 tty's as the same user, but don't run the same
environment in both. That is, use KDE in 1, Gnome in the other, or any of
the myriad of other window managers.
Hope that helps,
