Run a virtual desktop as another user

Description:

My computer is used by number of people.
I have set up a user that everybody can use to browse web and stuff.

But i myself usually end up using that user and need to re-login when i need to do something more than web.

It\\\'d be really great to be able to login as a diffrent user in a single virtual desktop rather than the whole system.

This would also improve security by alloing to browse web using a restricted user and do serious stuff wirh normal priviledges.

There is a downside of course - moving windows between deskops with diffrent users canot be allowed.

You can already run application as a different user. (via console, via ALT F2 and sudo, via a nice tool somewhere in the KDE-menu).

Also you van switch session/start a new session as a different user. You can switch easely from session to session via the K-menu, desktop-menu of ctr-alt-F'numberofsession'

These functions already give what you need, no need for some virtualisation or so...

Sorry. Didn't know about this feature.

It would still be nice to have a more visual way to switch sesstions than
pressing a fancy keyboard shorcut.
Maybe a session switcher panel for Kicker...

idd, since you didn't know.... this show the feature is too much hidden.

although, you just need to press the right mouse button on the desktop to get acces to the feature.

The K menu now has "Switch User" which is pretty much what you're looking for.

 How to do it

1. Install xnest. For Debian apt-get install xnest will work.
2. Xnest :1 & DISPLAY=:1 startkde
That will start the Xnest server and also run the start KDE script.

Even better, you could write it into a bash script like this:

#!/bin/bash
Xnest :1 & DISPLAY=:1 startkde

and then create a desktop shortcut for it.
