I am running Sid with KDE, and was wondering if I am logged in and have

that way when they are finished, I can re-log in and continue where I
left with the programs that I originally had still open and running.
Then press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to switch to virtual terminal #2. From there,
have the second user log in. After the user has logged in, have him
enter "startx -- :1". This will start a second instance of X on
(probably) terminal 8 (whereas your is (probably) on terminal 7). You
can then hotswitch between the two sessions with Ctrl-Alt-F7 and
Ctrl-Alt-F8.
This seems to work well, but what about sound? In my experience opening
up a second x session on a different Virt-terminal, the first session
has the sound card, and will not work on the second opened x-session.
