If you have an X session going, and you switch to a VTx, you can then log in as a different user and start a second X session with a command like "startx -- :1". Go to a third VT and start a third session with a command like "startx -- :2"). You can then switch between these X sessions with Ctrl-Alt-F[7|8|9]. NOTE: Test first when you don't have anything important running; some video setups can't handle this and might freeze the box.
If you have gdm installed and running you can run gdmflexiserver. (Recommended only for home users.)
You kind people are giving me workarounds how about where where the gui login screen lives. i.e. what program is it? Regards; Hoyt
"ps ax | grep [d]m" should give you a good clue [as to which session manager you're using (e.g. which "login screen" you're using") - we don't know what login screen you're using; only you know that]
Then you can either uninstall it ("apt-get --purge remove gdm" to remove/purge gdm) or disable it (various ways, such as putting "exit 0" as the first executable line in the script; the script for kdm should reside at "/etc/init.d/kdm", or renaming/moving the script or symlink to the script).
