Setup the default account as Ron's and then setup the user jeanne with
no password. This will let Ron do:
su - jeanne
without a password prompt...
Then write a script:
su - jeanne
evolution
exit
Save the file as EvJeanne.sh and make it executable by anyone:
chmod a+x EvJeanne.sh
That's it. Except you want to create an icon on the desktop that now
points to the script:
(for Gnome...)
Right click on the desktop and choose "New Launcher"
Name: Jeanne's Email
Command: (browse to the EvJeanne.sh file)
Click on the Icon button and choose a pretty icon.
Done.
Good Luck
