Why not make some kind of X Wrapper? My idea is the following:

- The first application is the virtual X server (vx-server), which is something like \
                vnc-server.
- The second application is the virtual X client (vx-client). It runs on the real X \
                server and displays the contents of one of the chosen vx-servers.
- An application can request vx-client to connect to a different vx-server. Kicker \
(and gnome-panel) could use this to offer user-friendly user switching.

In this way, you don't need modifications to X.org/XFree86, and more importantly, it \
works with every window manager. It has a little overhead for a single session, but \
when running multiple sessions it should have less overhead than multiple X servers. \
It should even be rather easy with this model to take a session from one X-server to \
another one.

Would such a thing be possible?
