Doing multiscreen desktop starts is somewhat risky based on having multiple of the same user accessing the same files and potentially corrupting or overwriting them (or just having the annoyance of not being able to save an edit if decent file locking is in place). [Probably having TDE and KDE installed at the same time would cause further disruption as I’m not exactly sure TDE still doesn’t use some files in the KDE name space? Again, that’d need to be answered by a TDE dev.] multi desktop starts is also generally used with multiple graphics cards (and monitors) for something like a multi-user server. And generally in that case there is some logic added to logins such that a user can only login once at any given time. That went away years/decades ago though as it’s a pita and thin client front ends became cheap. (Actually, based upon wife’s work, I’m not sure that thin clients are used anymore, corps seem to just dump a full up PC on a desk and use a central server for file storage.) no real help really, just some background, best, Michael
