Since you are seemingly better at Linux than the other person, you let them login from the kdm screen. For YOU to get into X, you just press Ctrl-Alt-F2, login as your regular user, and run 'startx [ desktop ] -- :1'. This will start up a second X session with a second desktop running as your user. To get to the first user's desktop, press Ctrl-Alt-F7. To get to your desktop, press Ctrl-Alt-F8. Note that there is *** NO *** security when doing it this way. He could watch you press those keys and quite easily switch over to your desktop when you're not looking and smoke your home directory (and I'm not talking 420 either). Blue skies...
