KDE user switching

[Adam Pribyl]

Is fast user switching that is mentioned in F7 release notes working also 
for KDE? I do not see it. Bug or feature?

But it seems it is not enabled in Fedora or something.. F7 gnome switching 
is also just enabled gnome feature.. IMHO.

WORKSFORME.
Once logged in, is there no K->Switch User menu option for you?

What display manager are you using? It's possible that the feature only works 
with KDM.

it depends on your login display manager.  GDM/KDM alsso support this feature.
You will see this popupmenu only by using GDM/KDM as  login display manager.

No idea on KDE, but I did test it and it works just fine under Xfce. 

You need to have the fast-user-switch-applet installed, then you can go
to the System->New Login or System->Login screen items and it should
let you login as another user.

KDE doesn't support GNOME panel applets.

Also note that this applet most likely only works with GDM. But that's 
irrelevant as it doesn't work with KDE at all.
