With enough ram (I have 256 MB on my p4 1800), the whole thing is fast and pretty useful: you don't have to close apps (when I surf I keep open at least 7 windows and/or tabs) and both people can work inside their environment.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).
