Overview
The flexi server mechanism allows to run GDM sessions on demand, in a new virtual console. The administrator can define multiple server configurations, using alternate X servers, or different options, in the gdm.conf file, and gdmflexiserver will present you with a menu, where you will be asked to choose between those server configurations marked with flexible=true.
Alternatively, the --xnest option allows you to run a new session in an Xnest(1) window.
