From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.11) Gecko/20050729 Description of problem: The KDE "Switch user" menu is empty. According to the KDE documentation (http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/userguide/switching-sessions.html) it should contain two entries to lock the current session and start a new one or to just start a new one. On my FC4 box this menu is empty except for the session that is currently running. There seems to be no way to get an additional KDE session for another user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.4.2-0.fc4.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right click on the desktop background 2. From the menu choose "Switch User" 3. Actual Results: Menu pops up but misses entries. Expected Results: Entries should be there. Additional info:
it's now fixed in KDE-3.4.2-2 in rawhide. for quick fix, you should add the followings lines in section [General] from /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc # This option exists solely for the purpose of a clean automatic upgrade. # Do not even think about changing it! ConfigVersion=2.3 # List of permanent displays. Displays with a hostname are foreign.
