The need to support multiple "root" windows is not needed. My
understanding is that there would be only one "root" window, Just as with
adjacent screens, the root window would span all the console screens.
Independent windows (e.g., shelltool) can of course be opened up on any of
the screens. The only restriction is that there can only be one "console"
cmdtool window (as is also the case with adjacent screens).
The way I envision this working is that the initial window system is
brought up under the "guest" user login. Then each of the actual users on
each of the different consoles does an "su" to their own account.
