I wasn't clear. I meant when there are multiple users, each using a
different screen, they should each get their own X server. You would
not want cut/paste to work between screens in this case. Each of these
users are completely independent of each other - as if they were on
different machines.

Multiple users on the same screen will obviously need some Xserver help.
