Actually, X uses the DISPLAY environment variable to figure out where to display stuff. You can log in as many times as you want with the same user id and X doesn't care. It's Gnome and KDE that get really fussy, because they do things by user-id, not DISPLAY variable. Then, there's Mozilla. it also does some things by user-id. It gets really screwy when you try to run it twice with the same user-id, because the profile is stored by user id and it doesn't like to be open more than once. I'm not sure about OpenOffice/StarOffice. Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Dieter Kroemer wrote: > > > > Am Mittwoch, 17.
