I believe the newlogin feature was just introduced in xscreensaver-5.00 |
| 6 |
which came out just recently. Be sure to enable the new-login USE flag |
| 7 |
in /etc/portage/package.use for x11-misc/xscreensaver. |

Alternatively, gnome+gdm has a "New Login" feature which is buried |
| 10 |
somewhere in the gnome menu somewhere. The problem with the "New Login" |
| 11 |
thing is that it doesn't seem to be very well thought out yet. You have |
| 12 |
to be logged in as another user to be able to access it and when user #2 |
| 13 |
is done and logs out, user #1's screen is locked no matter what what |
| 14 |
user #1's preferences are. The KDE situation is about the same, but I |
| 15 |
think the WindowsXP model is the best: have the GDM screen always |
| 16 |
running on VT7 and have it spawn new user desktops on VT8+ as needed, so |
| 17 |
when all the user desktops are locked the new user can always get to GDM |
| 18 |
and login. Or maybe you just bring up GDM when the other desktops are |
| 19 |
all locked. |
