Nope, does not look like he's at runlevel 3 since he uses startx --:1 to start a new login I'd guess that display:0 is already up.

If you want multiple graphical logins then you can edit your gdm.conf file found in<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/X11/gdm directory.
In the [servers] section look for a line that says:
0=Standard
Add a line below that reads 1=Standard and you will have two logins which can be switched between using ctrl-alt-f7 and ctrl-alt-f8.
2=Standard on another line would add a third on ctrl-alt-f9
