Who is "logged in" when you are running multiple login windows?

I'm confused about why there's a problem.
I run 4 login windows on the console all
the time under wmgr. I just added more
entries to /etc/inittab (vi2, vi3, vi4)
so that each getty gets a separate window.
Shift-suspend & shift-resume move back &
forth between them.
The first window in the list (when one
clicks on the "W" icon in the top right
corner of the screen) owns the mail, phone,
calendar, etc...
I have a question of my own - can one allocate
more than 12 windows in the new kernel? I've
tried all sorts of stuff in 3.51 but nothing
above /dev/w12 ever gets activated...
Cheers,
