Hi, I share my home computer with my wife, and what I did was have gdm (Gnome's xdm replacement) spawn 2 X sessions, one that can be found at Ctrl-Alt-F7 (which I use) and the other at Ctrl-Alt-F8 (which my wife uses). I've been using this forever (without gdm, in the past), and it's a winner -- none of us disturb the other's work...
The problem I'm facing is about the screensaver. When I'm using my X session, and my wife's screensaver kicks in, it hogs my CPU (not to speak about the memory)... Is there any way to either nice the screensaver (which I think it should be by default) and/or make it suspend itself when that particular X session is not the current one (which I also feel could be at least an option -- that would be even better, as the screensaver would be thrown to disk swap...)?
