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.
