Ingolf, 

I'm setting up the same thing so guests can do their email/browsing thing
without disturbing my session.  

Would you happen to know what determines "where" the X server shows up?  I
don't use xdm; I just log in and startx.  My X server shows up on F5 (as I
think of it), meaning ctrl+alt+F5 displays the X session.  

Then, if I log into ttyE1 as another user (who has no .xinitrc or
anything) and issue "startx -- :1", I do indeed get another X server
running ... on top of ttyE2 (ie, ctrl+alt+F2 displays it).  I'd like to be
able to fix it at F6, if possible.

Just in case my ignorance isn't already totally obvious, I have one more
question for the list (Oh, list?).  Can anyone tell me why my prompt in
xterms doesn't reflect the prompt in my .profile?  When I log in, I get a
prompt like "jklowden@home.schemamania.org$", but every xterm starts off
with "bash-2.04$ " until I issue ". .profile".  Which is sort of OK, but
I'm sure it's also easy to fix, if one knows how.  

Many thanks and regards,
