Comment I can't wait 'till somebody copies XPs logins (Score 2, Insightful) 237
I'm tempted to figure out how to do it myself. Not exactly the silly point-and-click to log in, but something that will let me go back and open another session as a different user easily.
Getting at more than one X session at a time in Linux is needlessly complicated. The nice login screens should have this in mind. Why would a login prompt for a multi-user operating system only handle a single logged in user at a time? Silly.
I know it's only:
startx -- :1
(or whatever the brain-dead syntax is) to start another session, but there really ought to be a better way.
