Hi All (Fedora Core 3 Users)

Just picked up this tip you might find it usefull?

To run multiple KDE or GNOME sessions with different users on the same 
Fedora 3 Linux box.

Edit the config file
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, and find the section like this near the end of the
file:

[servers]
# These are the standard servers.  You can add as many you want here
# and they will always be started.  Each line must start with a unique
# number and that will be the display number of that server.  Usually just
# the 0 server is used.
0=Standard
#1=Standard

Then, uncomment that second line, so you have

0=Standard
1=Standard

and restart GDM. (sudo init 3; sudo init 5)

Then, when GDM restarts, you'll have one login screen on (by default) the
virtual console on ctrl-alt-f7, and another on ctrl-alt-f9.

You may also want to edit some things in /etc/security/console.perms, to
share sound card access, etc.

Works for me!
