neat! that's great. additionally, if you have the xnest nested
x server installed, you can get a login in a window without even
leaving your old session.

Not quite, but there something similar. If you're using Gnome 2.4, there's a "New Login" item in System Tools under the Application menu item. This will create a new X11 session on a different virtual terminal, complete with (x|k|g)dm. I uses gdm as my graphical login and the instance on the second X11 session now has a new item (Quit). Your current session still exist and you can get back to it either by selecting the Quit item on the second gdm screen or doing the Ctrl+Alt+F# where # is the virtual terminal of your original X11 session (most likely # = 6). -- Steven Yap <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Not yet. Looks like gdmflexiserver is going that way, but not quite there. -- Leandro GuimarÃes Faria Corcete Dutra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Prefeitura do MunicÃpio de SÃo Paulo Governo EletrÃnico, Telecentros +55 (11) 5080 9647 http://br.geocities.com./lgcdutra/ +55 (11) 5080 9648 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Not as such. A common thing to do is to switch to an X console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), log in as another user, and have them run 'startx -- :1'; then, with default settings, Ctrl+Alt+F7 will get you the first X session (on :0), and Ctrl+Alt+F8 the second (on :1). I think most display managers can be configured to manage multiple X servers as well. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
