It is possible to have multiple desktops running. If you have the GNOME Desktop Manager installed, the program gdmflexiserver makes it very simple.

Note: This article assumes that you have the default GNOME Desktop Manager installed. If it is not installed, you can install it using up2date in a terminal:

up2date -i gdm
