As the title says I'm trying to start up to X servers one running Xmonad and one running xfce. I am trying to have xfce accessibile by switching tty so that I can use software that have many floating windows (such as photoshop running under wine).
Right now I use XDM and my xinitrc contains the line
exec xmonadafter starting such session I have tried to
0. Start a second X server with xmonad alone, just by switching tty and using startx and those work perfectly fine. Also, if I start xfce only by changing xinitrc that also works flawlessly.
1. change the xinitrc file to include exec startxfce4, switch tty, login as my user and use startx -- :3
This crashes the previous X server with running Xmonad and starts an xfce one.
2. leave the xinitrc file as is, switch tty, login as my user and do startxfce4 -- :3 which fails to start with the following log (but I don't know where to look further. I tried to read it but it doesn't seem very informative to me)

Ok...sooo changing the xinitrc file appropriately and doing
startxafter switching tty without specifying a display seems to work just fine. XD
