Yeah, the two BetterDisplay processes probably start fighting who gets control. It is advised to disable connection management in case of the secondary user if possible. But will look into it how this could be solved.

The issue here is mostly with colortable manipulation and virtual screens but there are other issues. Any alterations should be disabled if the user that is running the app instance does not have the console.
An other option (I am leaning towards this) is to simply prevent the app from running in multiple instances by adding LSMultipleInstancesProhibited to the app's properties.
What I'll do is to put a kCGSessionOnConsoleKey check for events but also cache value so I won't recheck every time but only every 5 seconds or so if needed.
