man... i was hoping the inclusion of gnome-screensaver was going to be
the next piece towards a reasonably functional "switch user"
functionality. flexiserver basically worked to get a second user
desktop up and running and even switch between them via a dialog. The
only thing missing was reasonable UI in the screensaver dialog that
let you choose a user desktop to switch to while screensaver was
active. Of course, the harder problem of handling permissions on
peripherals in a sane way when 2+ user session where at the console
would still be unresolved.
