Chinook, did you know you can run two (or more) X sessions at once? For example, start X in whatever way you would normally start it. Now switch to a virtual terminal, say, the second one with Ctrl-Alt-F2. Now log in again as a different user (your wife, your alter ego, etc), and start a second session with "startx -- :1 &". Whereas your GUI login manager probably offers a choice of windowing environment (KDE, Gnome, Icewm, etc), using "startx" will look to the system default, or if you have it, to your ~/.xinitrc file. Create this file and put in the single line containing your environment of choice (such as "startkde" or "gnome-session" or "icewm"), and away you go. I believe both kdm and gdm can be configured to offer GUI login screens for each X session, but "startx" works fine for me. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
