I've just updated the version of the Fast User Switching script on the Applescript page. Due to a change in how paths and names are handled in Applescript when run through Quicksilver on Snow Leopard, the previous posted version was trying to switch to a user called "<username>.scpt" instead of to a user called "<username>" (obviously substituting <username> with whatever name is used in the filename of the script). The updated version will work properly on both Leopard and Snow Leopard. I use on both operating systems successfully with Quicksilver. As AppleScript said in his post above, to use this script you need to bring it up in the first pane of Quicksilver, and choose the Run action in the second pane. To make sure it is available in Quicksilver, save it in ~/Library/ Scripts (where ~ is the path to your users home folder), and then configure the Scripts section of Quicksilver's catalogue so that there is a checkmark in the box for the Scripts (User) catalogue item. As mentioned in the description of the Fast User Switching script, you MUST save it with the filename "Switch to <username>.scpt" substituting in the actual username of a user. For example, "Switch to Melanie.scpt" can be used to switch to user "Melanie", and "Switch to Bob.scpt" can be used to switch to user Bob.
