Hmmm... a coupla months ago, somebody told me to add a line for the second X session in one of the manymanymanymanymanymanymany... config files. There was already a line for display :0 at [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F7], and I was told to add another line, changing the :0 to
:1 and [F7] to [F8], which was supposed to allow my
wife find my system with me logged in and the locked screen-saver, and all she'd need to do is type [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F8] to get a graphical login. [...] Is it possible to set things up so that the command-line login on [F1] console is not needed? ... so she can just type [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F8] and face a graphical (KDE or GNOME) login? That's what this screenlocking function does (but I don't know the commands behind it). I think this is more an Xserver/xdm question (which I can't answer).
What's the gentlest way for me (logging in to console as root) to close her open session with minimal loss or disruption to whatever she was doing?
