Over the weekend I was reading all kinds of reviews about Win XP 
and its ability to allow multiple logins.  This was advertised as
some great advance...the other session was not suspended or closed, 
but backgrounded until the person logged back in.  The person who 
was currently the foreground session had priority, etc.  

Now, here's the point.  I have 5 people who use my machines at 
home and Linux has 6 consoles.  I run Mandrake 8.0 and usually 
KDE (that's part of the rub, more than one gui).  I know it is 
possible to run multiple X sessions on a single machine and 
bounce between them with ctl-alt-F7 - F12.  How can I set up 
each user's environment so that they would default to a 
different X session from anyone else?  Then I would have the 
same "new" functionality that XP claims it is innovating, 
but would not need to run out and upgrade all my machines' 
memory and processors and pay the big $$$ for XP, etc...  

This could be a cool hack to publish somewhere in some HOW-TO, 
unless it already exists??
