A little more info from some experimentation.
I get the same "session locked" if i start a second x session via startx
manually, but this time it can be unlocked. And i am presented with
this "session locked" every time i switch between sessions. So i believe
what is happening is that when i try to run multiple screens config is that
it tries to lock my "inactive" screen constantly.
So the real question is how to disable automatic locking of inactive X
session? I looked in TDE Control Center but didnt found anything.

P.S. Reading logs - everything is the same as normal in all of them except
XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
      after 113 requests (113 known processed) with 5 events remaining.
at the end of tdm.log
