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

[Tako Schotanus]

Hmm I did some looking around and found this bug report which seems to
be exactly what you talked about:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48537

and the patch that actually implements it:

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=103248620916086&w=2

In the page referred to by the first link it clearly states at the end
that this is part of the KDE 3.1 release. I've sent an e-mail to the
author of the patch asking him if he can explain how it works/how to
turn it on, so hopefully I'll be able get some more info to y'all on
this very soon.

Cheers,
 -Tako
