[CentOS] How to login to a new session?

[duffmckagan]

I will surely try this lengthy procedure.
Is the property disabled with KDE or is it with Cent OS that I can't
do this in a simple way?

I remember Mandrake had this option of Starting a new session.
Why not Cent OS?
Do I need to add something to my existing KDE?
