A second X session looked interesting to me, so I had to try it, but sorry, doesn't work for me. My configuration: SuSE 7.2 with XF86 4.2.0 and KDE 3.0.4 without graphic login manager. Effect: The X session for the second user on CTRL-ALT-F8 is simply the X background. For the first user I had "xhost +localhost" in use and the new KDE session (for the second user) was started on CTRL-ALT-F7 with some conflict between the KDE sessions. Now the positions of the icons on the desktop of the first KDE session was messed. On a second try this time without "xhost +localhost" and after restoring the Desktop, there just was no second KDE session, only the X background on CTRL-ALT-F8. So, be warned, it doesn't work for everybody and maybe you need your backup :) Nils
