I mean multiple sessions all under the same user *BUT* all tied to the
same xterm.   Namely I often login into my main account then su to
more specialized accounts and do a xhost +/setenv DISPLAY :0 in the
respective .cshrc's.   Thus I can start X apps from the command line
as the su'ed user but I want to make it so I can also have a panel
(xfce4 not gnome but I suspect it is the same issue since both use
GTK) for them.
