Sampath: This works and  I am able to launch Xephyr parallely from different
logins in different PCs.

Sampath:
Yes, I did set the DISPLAY to :2.
Even with the solution to first problem, this problem still exists. I am
getting the same errors. That is...

When I try to start Maemo UI from the second login, I am getting the below
shown messages:
"
[sbox-SDK_PCSAM: ~] > af-sb-init.sh start
Note: For remote X connections DISPLAY should contain hostname!
Sample files present.
Starting DBUS system bus
Starting D-BUS session bus daemon
Starting Maemo Launcher: maemo-launchermaemo-launcher: died binding to
invoker socket
 start failed.
Starting Sapwood image server
Starting Matchbox window manager
sapwood-server[9332]: GLIB INFO default - server started
Starting clipboard-manager
Starting Keyboard
Starting MAEMO AF Desktop
"

After that I am not even able to launch Maemo UI on first login also (which
was working initially).
I am getting below messages in the first login when I try to launch Maemo
UI:

"
[sbox-SDK_PC: ~] > af-sb-init.sh start
/usr/bin/af-sb-init.sh: line 1: export: `bus:': not a valid identifier

"

I have to restart the server to make things work for the first login.

Please, let me know if there is any solution.

Thanks and regards,
Sampath
