we could not, we did. more precisely, i did.
add
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8
to $KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/Xservers (unless the kdmrc points to a
different location, but in that case it makes sense to create a modified
copy and adjust kdmrc), give kdm a "hup", lock the screen and see the new 
login appearing.
the bad news is, that you need HEAD for it; i don't know if it made it
into 3.0beta1.

i leave it to the kicker, etc. coders to hack up some buttons to
explicitly activate spare login screens. switching between sessions is 
quite useless if you ask me, as we have the usual alt-ctrl-f<n> keys.
