I read that thread and Januk's test report with much interest (as I am
one of the multi-account users who went through mishaps like locking
themselves out of TB by external file manipulation - and, admittedly,
by saving a password ending with a " " i.e. a space :-)
JA>>> 1. I made my main account and my dummy account both user level
JA>>> accounts. 2. When I fire up TB, I get a login box asking for my

One addition to Januk's multi-account report:
No Multiple Language Settings !!!
I was gonna say the language settings, paradoxically enough, can only
be applied _globally_ (!) - and this means whoever (of the multiple
users) changes the settings changes them for the next one who will log
in, even if into another account. It does not seem to matter whether
you have administrator or user rights, _but_ (what I only learnt now,
while checking again) the administrator can very well, under Options |
Network & Administration | Privileges disable the individual users'
Options Menu in general. (The good thing, in case the Options Menu is
not toggled, is that you can at least change Language Settings on the
fly - as long as you remember where in the column you will find back
your language before trying something really exotic... [ Yes, I'm as
well extending my own list of stupid mistakes ]).
I'd put individual Language Settings for individual users on my
wish-list.
