How to start a second KDE Session on Ctrl+Alt F8?
Hi, I used to have a nice button in SuSE 8.1 KDE, called "Start new session" which used to start a new KDE session on F8, F9 etc... Since I upgraded to KDE 3.1.1 it is gone. There must be something trivial, but I have no idea how to get it back. If anyone is still using KDE 3.0, please tell me what was the command behind!

I never tried that... What I do is go to a text console and type "startx kde -- :1" -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Make a small shell script like this: #!/bin/sh startx kde -- :1 And you will have another KDE on F8. It works only one time though, I think. Praise

Add the script above to the KDE menu? The control center should allow you to do this. You could also run a new KDE session inside a VNC session, and connect to it locally. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2

Have a look at xnest. It's probably what you are looking for. Regards, Ming-Che -- Kmail 1.5.1, Gentoo 1.4 r3, ICQ: 126097979 Registered Linux User #241507 at http://counter.li.org
