Well I disagree with the above answer. He is not asking how to run a Windows XP application, he is asking how to do what he did in Windows on Linux. Your answer is for the wrong question. Albeit a fine answer. Matthew, Both KDE and Gnome (and if someone would answer this with the way to do it in XFCE I would be happy) give you a menu item that says "switch user". It allows for the same functionality that you get in Windows XP, being able to log in as a different user on the same machine. Alternatively, CNTRL-ALT-F# (where # is 2-6) will give you an alternative console, text mode initially, where you should be able to log in and then start a desktop session. Alternatively, alternatively, you could su to the other user in a console session, start a vncserver session, and then start a "remote desktop" client and connect to that session, without having to leave yours at all. And that would give you the ability to connect up to those sessions from any other machine (if you have them) in the house. There are probably some other methods you could use. I believe I would recommend the "Swtich User" option as the easiest. HTH.
