I asked one of my team mates to evaluate centos 5.2 as a more stable distro for our business use than Fedora which we have used for years.
His main objection so far has been the lack of a neat feature of recent Fedoras (at least since 7) that allows a user to login as himself if the screen is locked by another user (a switch user feature).
Is that feature available or is it planned?
Thanks.

Hi, I just noticed that the function is already in CentOS 5, but is disabled. To enable for the current user open a terminal and type (on one line if it wraps):
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/user_switch_enabled TRUE
then activate the screensaver (for testing):
gnome-screensaver-command -a
for system-wide use, as root (always one line):
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/ --type bool --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/user_switch_enabled TRUE
