Multiple monitors and multiple users

I have a dual monitor system up and running using xinerama, however, I would like to have a seperate log on screen displayed on the second monitor so I can be logged in as two users at once. I don't want to run them seperately, i.e. with two keyboards and mice, just to move the mouse from one screen to another but when I do so for it to be a different user.

 

Is this possible?

you could run two X servers at once, however you would not be able to view both at the same time. you'd have to ctrl+FX (where X is 7 or 8, for first display and second display respectively) to switch between them. AFAIK, there is no way to have two logins viewable on two screens at the same time (unless you run a nested X session on the second monitor).
