Excellent! I knew this was in progress, but I didn't know it was this close to being complete. If I understand correctly this work was led by David Herrmann. He has a blog post explaining how it works: http://dvdhrm.wordpress.com/2013/08/25/sane-session-switching/ > > Of course, we must wait for Xorg/Wayland/DEs/whatever to gain support > for this feature before we can get full user-switching in non-seat0 > seats. I imagine the display manager will play a role in all of this. I'm not sure what changes would be required to support this feature, but it'd be nice to submit some patches for LightDM. > Hans de Goede @ Red Hat is working hard to integrate new logind > features to Xorg server. Do you have any links to mailing lists posts about the Xorg changes?
