KDE sessions are usually self contained for each user so running any number of 
user sessions should work fine. I often have even two different version of KDE 
running at the same time.

Most programs can even be run multiple times for the same user in different 
user sessions, however some, e.g. KMail, require more exclusive access to 
their resources (in KMail's case to keep mails and index files in sync) so 
they can only be run once.

Cheers,
Kevin
