That's one of the reasons for VNC and running your X Session on a
server.

Another option is to use a second X Session (on Ctrl-Alt-F8.) Newer
distros like Ubunto support this and apparently it's easy to setup on
any distro if you don't mind a command line.

I had the (mis)fortune of working with SunRay terminals and they have
that functionality too, with smart cards none-the-less.
