Create a test user, and switch user. The settings you choose for that user will not affect those for your ordinary user account.
Indeed. I created the test user and logged in on VT2 as that user. But how to start the DM (or WM) on VT2 without crashing the DM+X running on VT7? Closest I got was `sudo startx -- :1` (unless I want to setuid X, but I'd rather see if there's a way to get lightdm running on multiple VTs). Still, even doing this caused lightdm to log out the original user on VT7. Thanks. Michael -- Michael Fischer michael@visv.net
