Well, I already do this "fast user switching" sometimes using gdm's feature to login several times. The switching is done by switching the console. tpb will currently only be launched for the first user who logged in on a console - but this is OK for me, I can change the permission stuff in console.perms if I want it on every console... > I thought it might be a problem once the user logs out, but that seems > ok.
