dm-tool, xfce4-session or greeter

Hello everyone,

On my personal computer I've got 3 physical screens, sometimes 4.

I would like to have one of these screens logged on another user for some
reasons.
My usual user is jpc and my other user is janfi

I have written a script who unfortunately works only for root because
xfce4-session says "you must be root...."

My script :
#!/bin/sh
#dm-tool add-nested-seat --fullscreen &
dm-tool add-nested-seat --screen 1900x1050 &
export DISPLAY=:1
#su janfi
xfce4-session &
sleep 30
export DISPLAY=:0



I wish to have the user janfi into my nested seat.

Also if I use dm-tool with --fullscreen, the xfce screen size is probably
huge and the windows don't appear on the real screen, I don't know how to
fix that.

If someone could help me please ?

Thanks

Jean-Philippe
