Hello All

Does anyone know how/whats needed to implement a system that will allow
multiple X sessions on one box all from one monitor/keyb combo.

What I want to achieve is something along the line of how <spit> Windows
XP </spit> allows many users to be logged in and to switch between their
desktop sessions.

I know KDE allow you to "save your session" - but a) i dont use KDE and b)
i want to keep the apps/processes running whilst the other user is logged
in.

I'm using Gentoo/FluxBox with no display manager.

Is there a package out there that provides this functionality? If so any
pointers in the right direction would be grand.


many thanks
