Hi everybody,

i just emerged Kde-3.4 and tried the new feature to login at F8 as new user. But this dont work.

When I start a new session first the kdm login appears but after i entered my password nothing happens.

A switch to the first session shows me this X Error:

"KDE seems to be already running on this display."

Anybody an idea?

Do you start the Xserver with the init-scripts at boottime, and then trying to launch a session with startx?

why? Does kdm tells you that you've entered the wrong passwd?

I think I'm having a similar problem, even though I never see the "KDE already running on this display" error message. I've got KDM starting at boot time, via the xdm init script and rc.conf. I log in initially (on :0), and all is great. I go to Switch User -> Start new Session.

At that point, KDM starts up on :1 . . . great. Second user logs in . . . great. Then there's a flicker, and it takes me back to the first login, on :0.

Looking at the second user's .xsession-errors-:1 file, it is says:

Anyone have any ideas? My wife keeps taking over one of the virtual desktops on my laptop, and it's driving me nuts!
