I need to lock the other user from using my account and I'd like not to use 2x times the memory of a single Xfree session!.

Actually I'looking at gdm. I'm trying to increase the username font size.

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).
