Can I run a second KDE session, as different user?

I didn't dare use the W-word, but that is where I had seen this kind of thing 
before... Anyway I have tried your suggestion. It works fine except, as you 
warned, only one "screen" has the sound card. Problem is, that is always the 
root, not a real user. This is based on a very brief experiment, but seems to 
not be influenced by which users I tried it with nor in what order. Perhaps 
it is some way random, I am not sure. Do you know how to be certain that the 
sound card at least works for the first "screen" to login? That would be fine 
for practically all occasions (because there will usually only be the one 
user). 

Thanks

Steve
