Yes, users will sign onto a workstation, and then disappear somewhere
in the building. They usually forget that they're logged on, which
means the workstation is unusable by anyone else for several days.
Restarting the X server is one solution, but it will kill any running jobs.
I'm not sure about GNOME or if that's available in version currently shipped
in CentOS but in KDE the screensaver allows you to switch user, i.e. leave the
currently logged on user's session running and start a new one for another
user. That seems like a better solution if possible, no?
