Add something like this to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers:
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8
:2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :2 vt9
:3 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :3 vt10
:4 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :4 vt11
:5 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :5 vt12
Now, you will have 5 reserve X11 servers, which will be started on demand by
kdm. Just log out, restart the dm service, log back in, and you should see a new
menu entry in your KDE menu, called "Start New Session".
This has been available for a long time, and works quite well. Additionally,
SuSE ships with this by default (and BTW this is one of two reasons some local
users have for using SuSE over Mandrake).

Hello,
It would be nice to have a user switch feature which does not force me to shut down
programs. For example if my mother must check mail, I don't want to log off (and shut
down
xmule).
Currently I have to
lock the session
CTRL+ALT+f2
startx -- :1
But this does not work fully: I have many resource locking problems, e.g. the sound
does not
work, and the tv card doesn't either.
Also, it is not apparent enough. 99% of the users don't know it is possible.
Windows XP does this since years, and I heard SUSE 8.2 does it too.
cheers!
