what command should I use to start a new session as a different user? I used to have a "start new session" option in my kmenu but somewhere along the line this went away. I want to be able to cntrl+f8 to new session and cntrl+f7 back to "my" session.

Open a terminal with e.g. Konsole, then enter: su -l <other_user> <Enter password> startx -- :1 As for the startx command: :0 refers to the 1st graphical screen (<Ctrl>+<Alt>-<F7>) :1 refers to the 2nd graphical screen (<Ctrl>+<Alt>-<F8>) :2 refers to the 3rd graphical screen (<Ctrl>+<Alt>-<F9>) etc. Cheers, Leen
