Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2010-02-01 14:51:56 UTC
User switching in KDE only works if you use KDM. (Likewise, in GNOME it only works if you're using GDM.) Yes, this sucks.

I wonder if there's any chance we can implement GDM-style user switching in KDE.

Closing as NOTABUG.  To resolve this issue please install and use KDM

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2010-10-27 16:57:17 UTC
We have upstream support for this feature now, which we're working on backporting from upstream 4.6 trunk to 4.5. (I'm not sure whether we'll issue an updated 4.4.5 build for F12 though.)

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 23:24:14 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
