> How do I log out and let another user log in without quitting X?
A number of ways, none of which are how they are done in Windows:
- Use the switch-user, "su", command. So "su - user1" would change to
user1 for the xterm in which it was executed.
- Start another X server on another console. Assuming you have an X
server running on VC7, as is the default, something like the following
would start another one on VC8:
startx -- :1.0
See the XFree86-HOWTO, and the UNIX FAQ for more cool tidbits.
Other than the methods supplied above, there is no way to change all
instances of a current login to another user, or switch users without
otherwise stopping your X server. This is not a drawback, though. X,
like unix, is a pure multi-user environment through-and-through.
