Also, constantly running a second X server on tty1 wastes memory.

This waste is limited and should be similar to what Windows wastes for it's own login screen. So that's not a problem.

Before we can assess the security of your solution I think you need to first implement it. Before we can assess the usability of your solution I think you need at least a few hundred users.

This is a problem. Serge may argue that his solution is perfect (because it's not implemented and thus you can not argue about it's weaknesses) while I argue that it's extremely bad: solution which exists and is used is always more secure on practice then another solution which does not exist and is only imagined by someone.
