Two desktops running at once

[Basil Fowler]

It can be done quite easily if is done by two separate users.  Eash user fires 
up a KDE desktop.   To switch use cntl-alt F7 or F8 as appropriate.

If each desktop requires access to the same data files, put the latter in a 
separate group containing the two users, and change the permission of the top 
directory to 2775, and change group ownership of the files to the name of the 
group.

Hope this helps

Basil Fowler
