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

Tue Mar 11 20:12:08 GMT 2003

Hi All,

	I am using xfree4.3 and gnome2.2 (gentoo), and there is a program
called xnest.  This opens a new login window under your existing login and
is actually quite stable.  I quite like this, because if I am logged in as
root and make some changes to my users, I don't have to log out or su in a
terminal to see if the changes I have done work or not.

	Hope this helps.

Craig

Hello

Is there a way to run KDE as a different user, overlayed on top of an
existing 
KDE session? In particular, rather than logging out of my account and then 
into root, it would be handy to run KDE as root in a window within my own
KDE 
session. Similarly, if one of my family want to quickly do something (check 
their email or whatever), they can do it without me having to stop my
session 
first. I've tried the obvious "su - ... kde3" and that doesn't work.
