You can run "gdmflexiserver" to immediately start up a new server on the
next TTY.  Or "gdmXnest" to start up a new server inside a window.

To always have a second GDM running on a second TTY, edit
"/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf", look for the "[servers]" section and add (or
uncomment) a line like "1=Standard".
