Or are there problems with that too?
If this is possible, it'd be *really* nice. I'm not as worried about the password-protection of data sets (though I can empathize with the need). I have a 3-year-old nephew that wants to play chromium and tuxracer all the time. I hate logging out (same reasons as others listed), but he always manages to get out of the game I launch for him, close several of the windows I had up (which basically provides me with some of the bad side-effects of logging out anyway), and then launches a different game from the panel menu. He's gotten really good at this, and I don't know how to teach him to not close windows. Sure, I can just tell him he can't use the computer, but I would rather not be restricted from occasionally allowing him to do so (nor do I want to be restricted in what I have to do in order to allow him to safely play for a few minutes).
