Yes - but which are not well-defined when not using X, which is why I
deliberately avoided them.
To me, `multiheaded' says nothing about the availability of multiple
sets of input devices; "my desktop is multiheaded and I use them as
separate screens" makes perfect sense, as does "that machine is
dual-headed but the second head is a cg6 which I use for cg6 hackery,
not X sessions".
This is in notable contrast to your own use of the word, from which I
take away that it's a fairly ill-defined term. :-)
