open up dolphin under user john in joe's KDE desktop session means: with the understanding that enable-linger has been set for user john using loginctl, while logged in as joe, from joe's KDE desktop, run Kdesu, enter john's password and then have Kdesu run dolphin. open up a full KDE GUI desktop session (on vt8) under user john means: while logged in as joe, from joe's KDE desktop, use the Start / Leave / Switch user option of the KDE menu to login as user john and start up a parallel full KDE GUI desktop session (on vt8) for user john while keeping joe's full KDE GUI desktop session (on vt7) running. open up dolphin under user root in joe's KDE desktop session means: while logged in as joe, from joe's KDE desktop, use the Start / Applications/ System/ File Manager/ File manager (superuser mode) option to start up dolphin under user root (this option is installed in the KDE menu by the openSUSE 13.2 install program). open up a full KDE GUI desktop session (on vt8) under user root means: while logged in as joe, from joe's KDE desktop, use the Start / Leave / Switch user option of the KDE menu to login as user root and start up a parallel full KDE GUI desktop session (on vt8) for user root while keeping joe's full KDE GUI desktop session (on vt7) running. No I am not using SDDM. I am using the regular KDE desktop with the plasma shell and all of the rest of the standard software. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Andersen" <jsamyth@gmail.com> To: "Alec Destry" <xode@lanset.com> Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2016 10:46 AM Subject: Re: [opensuse] Collision between openSUSE 13.2 KDE sessions if dolphin from another user run under first user's KDE session.

Precisely, step by step, what exactly does that mean.
Did you use the Start / Leave / Switch user option of the KDE menu or did you do some sudo voodo?
