The "User Switch" feature is only enabled in the "User Switcher" applet if you have VT enabled on your system. It is off by default. To turn it on, run these commands: svcadm enable vtdaemon svcadm enable console-login:vt2 svcadm enable console-login:vt3 svcadm enable console-login:vt4 svcadm enable console-login:vt5 svcadm enable console-login:vt6 svccfg -s vtdaemon setprop options/hotkeys=true svcadm refresh vtdaemon svcadm restart vtdaemon Once done, restart GDM and VT should work, and the "User Switcher" applet should provide a "Switch User" option to use VT. Note that VT does not work with all graphics drivers. If you switch user, but no VT session starts, then this is likely your problem. Brian
