So at least 3 guys answered to me in IRC with positive feedback (being
in the same situation as I am). Do anyone see a problem with such
approach?
Does anyone know better what's required for user switch? Maybe it
would be good to change Entrance when it's fixed/rewrite so we have a
way to do autostart as well, in that case Entrance would start itself
as the minimum smart session end monitor that it uses once users logs
in. That way it doesn't impact boot times and it is still possible for
people to change users later.
Maybe that can be added to E desktop lock, since when I see
multiple users running on the same machine I see they using multiple X
sessions, so it's just a matter of spawning a new server... but I'm
not sure about coordination between those... or those with the login
manager, but KDE/KDM does keep track of such information (at least if
you want to shutdown it will first show that there are other users
logged in and confirm you want to proceed).
