No, even after trying it with --, it is not working.
Yeah. Maybe I need to upgrade to KDE 3.4 But KDE 3.4 is stable. Should I install that to make this thing work?

Sorry, but I wasn't able to Login to a new session even with this Procedure. don't understand whats wrong with it.
When i use the following command
ctrl+alt+F2 xinit /usr/bin/startkde -:1
You are missing a -- xinit /usr/bin/startkde -- :1
-Mark
I get error messages like
unable to open display cannot connect to xserver and stuff like that.
Moreover, thought the following command would do.
ctrl+alt+f2 xinit /usr/bin/kdm -:1
fatal server error server is already active for display 0
if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.x0-lock and start again.
What should I do? whats wrong?

I have Cent OS 4 with KDE. How do I enable an option of starting a new session with the current running?
What I want to do is.....If I Lock my Screen, the other user should be able to Login to a new session on the Same computer.
There was just a thread on the list that explains how to do this perfectly :)
First, you lock your screen, then you press ctrl-alt-F2 (or ctrl-alt-f3, f4, f5) and allow the other user to login at the console as the user you want.
Then issue the command:
xinit /usr/bin/gnome-session -- :1
OR
xinit /usr/bin/startkde -- :1
You would then use (one of these) ctrl-alt-f8, f9, f10, f11, f12 to access the session ... and ctrl-alt-f7 for your orginal session.
For a third user, pick a console (ctrl-alt-f3) and do:
xinit /usr/bin/startkde -- :2
(or you could do gnome)
and it should go to the graphical console (ctrl-alt-f9).
that will work easily for up to 5 users ... if you need more than that, other things would need to be done.
I hope this is clear. Thank you.
Ubuntu have this feature, switch users, but I haven't been able to do it without losing the other session. [centos 3 & 4]
