It sets a display on reserve without opening it, i.e. it opens it on demand. 
To use the feature, you need to lock your screen. Then you will see a new 
button right from the password input to unlock the screen which says "Start 
new session". Click on that button and it will open a new KDM login on the 
first reserved vt, i.e. on vt8. You can then log in as a different user 
(which is extremely useful in families if you don't want to close your 
session just because your wife bugs you because she wants to play kpat or 
check her mail, also for your kids). To switch between the screens use 
Alt+Ctrl+F7 / F8 / F9 etc.
