Why is it more of a problem when multiple xservers run at the same time?
I agree that the current situation is far from ideal, but don't understand how
fast user switching has made it any worse.

In that case why not have multiple XDM programs running, one per VC. Then the
login process could be to graphically ask the user for their user-name and
password, then kill the X server and start a new one for the user's context.

No. But I think that it would be viable to have a modified text-mode login
program start X automatically on the same VC.
