When you switch users in KDE, what you are doing is running multiple X 
sessions (one for each user) and switching between them.  So, this is 
probably just a configuration issue and I don't think that this is 
enabled by default.

Check your: "$KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/kdmrc" file for the entry:

	ReserveServers=:1

This allocates an X session for one additional user.  If you want more 
available, add to the list:

	ReserveServers=:1,:2,:3
