You will need to run two XF86 and on :0.0 you login and select the wmaker as
your desktop and on your :1.0 you login and select the gnome to be the
desktop. This will requier some XF86Config configuration and you need to setup
files for your secondary XF86 too.
I suggest you take a little look at en.tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree86-HOWTO
