Maybe an odd question?
Can you run two, or more, logins for the same user at the same time? (Say the
normal one on Crtl-Alt-F7 and an extra one on Crtl-Alt-F5?)
I have an app that behaves badly that I’d like to isolate to its own instance
of TDE. (There’s no fix for it and when it it goes bad it requires a desktop
restart.)
Doable? Or anyway to do something equivalent?
Thanks all,
Michael

Xnest or VNC may work, too. You can run 2 sessions, but I think there were sideeffects
with dcop.

Two sessions for the same user is probably a bad idea, since both sessions would try to
read/write the same resources
and you don't really know what could go wrong.
You could though create a separate account and run only that bad app in that account, that
should have less side effects.

Thanks Michele,
Didn't even think about the two sessions fighting for the same files. :(
And I really should have thought of just using two users, which is totally
doable.
Anyway, I'm glad I asked, it's been bugging me for a good while...
Thanks again,
Michael

Yes you can. The only issue is kdesktop_lock will lock "inactive" session
constantly and there is no setting to disable that behavior, so you will
need to delete or rename trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock executable and will not
able to lock screen.
