At the moment, one.  You can start up more Xastir apps and connect
them to the first using a command-line flag to use different config
directories.  I often do that for events so that I can have two
different views on my screen.

The Shapefile rendering?  Probably not all that difficult.  One of
the oddnesses of Shapefiles is that areas can have holes, and the
direction of the vertices around the shape specifies whether it is a
filled area or a hole.  If you can handle that, the rest should be
relatively easy.
