   I believe it's been mentioned that RedHat disables this GNOME menu 
option;  the reason being that some X drivers can crash when run twice 
(or some similar reason), so as it's not guaranteed safe, it's not in.

   Not sure what you've go through to add it back (I'd like to), but 
longer-term, there's talk (GNOME devel.)( of linking xscreensaver and 
GNOME so that if the screensaver's active (for someone else), you can 
still come along and use the computer.  Plus having some mechanism of 
listing the logged-in users so you can easily switch between them 
(instead of remembering who's on what <Alt+Ctrl+F>).
