What about chooser (you only have to turn on XDMCP for localhost)
that'll fit the bill.
What about gdmflexiserver, I can have as many "users" desktops at the
same time, as I want.
In the Debian Menu Hierarchy:
Debian Menu -> Apps -> System -> GDM Flexiserver
even in a Nested login:
Debian Menu -> Apps -> System -> GDM Flexiserver in Xnest
In the GNOME Menu on a Debian System:
Applications -> System Tools -> New Login
even in a Nested window too:
Applications -> System Tools -> New Login in a Nested Window
GDMFLEXISERVER(8) Debian GNU/Linux GDMFLEXISERVER(8)
NAME
gdmflexiserver - start a GDM session using the GDM flexible
server mechanism, or in Xnest
SYNOPSIS
gdmflexiserver GNOME options gdmflexiserver options
DESCRIPTION
The flexi server mechanism allows to run GDM sessions on demand,
in a new virtual console. The administrator can define multiple server
configurations, using alternate X servers, or different options, in the
gdm.conf file, and gdmflexiserver will present you with a menu, where
you will be asked to choose between those server configurations marked
with flexible=true.
Alternatively, the --xnest option allows you to run a new session
in an Xnest(1) window.
OPTIONS
In addition to the common Gtk and GNOME options, gdmflexiserver
accepts the following options:
-c command, --command=command
Send the specified protocol command to gdm
-n, --xnest
Xnest mode
-l, --no-lock
Do not lock current screen
-d, --debug
Debugging output
-a, --authenticate
Authenticate before running --command
SEE ALSO
gdm(8), Xnest(1).
