Not as nice as switching users, but it's possible to run more than one
instance of an X server on the machine.
startx -- :1
will start X on the next available vt, and call it display :1. I'm
sure xdm can be made to run on it with not much effort, if you feel the
need for that.
Hitting ctrl-alt-fn is not quite as nice as picking a name out of a
menu, and there are some resources wasted. For two people, on a modern
machine, it should be quite fine.
