Hmm - one might call that a feature ...

This is kind of a console problem. I consider it a bug that we have to
handle that stuff inside LibGGI and thus can theoretically (and quite
practically as well for badly written apps) lock out console switching.

LibGGI emulates the basic console-switching abilities, but not the Next/prev
console feature, as more often than not, this is rather undesireable
(I'd like to be able to turn and shoot at the same time :-).

The server killing can be diallowed by a commandline switch ...
Maybe you are running it through some wrapper that sets -dontzap ?

Just start it. You'll have to tell it to go to something other than display
:0, though, as that one is already occupied by the primary server you will
run it on.

Using my infamous "xggi" script, I just say "xggi :6" or something like
that.

Sure. You can either start as many X servers as you want, or use the
-targets option like this:

hades:~$ xggi :6 -targets "(x):(x)"
