 	If I understand correctly, you could do this:
1.	Ensure you set up something like xlock for each user
2.	Teach them how to use Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or whatever) to go to the different
 	virtual consoles.
3.	Either put a gdm/xdm/whatever on a few different consoles, or teach
 	them to use " startx -- :1 & " as their X starting command line
