It is very easy to check: after having used "Switch to different user" and logged out of that second session again, you can still choose between the two XServers using alt-ctrl-f7 and alt-ctrl-f8. vt7 displays the "initial" session, vt8 displays the unity-greeter (waiting for a "different user" to log in again).

Using "ps" you can also see that two XServers are running (and one unity greeter, waiting for a login on the no-longer-needed second console).

gdm, on the contrary, takes the second XServer down again after you have logged out from the "different user session".
