I noticed in 8.2 if you password protect the screensaver, the dialog box that comes up has a "start new session" button. What is it for?

Just what it says: to start a new login session parallell to your old. Your original session is on ctrl-alt-f7, the new will be on ctrl-alt-f8. Perfect for places where you leave your computer and someone else needs to use it
