F8 actually (for the second X user), unless you want a third user. However, 
when I do this, and the screen saver kicks in on the first user, X takes the 
processor to 100%.  Not all the time, but enough to make it a major pain.  
And, I've experienced exactly what the OP is talking about.

The First X display is normally on 7.
