Do you plan on implementing a client mode?  We use many legacy 
applications that will only display on an 8bit xserver.  Currently we 
start the main session at 24bit, solves color flashing from private 
color maps, for login; then use startx -- :1 -depth 8 to start a 
second xsession at 8bit.
What are the consequences of starting an xfce4-session inside another 
xfce4-session?
