Are you sure you don't mean a session manager, or at least something
else? I haven't used {K,G}DM in a while, but I was not aware any of
them could be used as "context switchers" in that regard. Of course, a
display manager is just a graphical means to login (essentially) - what
kind of other sophistication would you *need*, let alone want?

Sorry, but in order for either {G,K}DM to function, you're going to need
the whole suite of applications that goes with it. One possible
solution is to start xdm on display :1, :2, etc.
