Check Xnest manpage (Xnest is able to run an X window as a fake root window, thus allowing multiple instances of programs which require to run in root window, like xdm, gdm, kde, gnome). This is the way Gnome2 allows for 'new login' and 'new login in nested window'. Xnest is useful also for a remote login via XDMCP in a local window (like Exceed or Xwin32 do on Windows). I imagine you are looking for something like the user switching capability in WinXP. Xnest does something similar, but AFAIK you have to configure it yourself. Look also at gdm manuals for infos about gdmXnest, gdmXnestchooser and gdmflexiserver (the gdm tools which, I suppose, use Xnest for multiple graphical logins). -- Arturo di Gioia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
