Can one instead use KDE screensaver? If so, how?

Thanks, Rahul. Tried that, but when switching user, got the following error:

"Unable to start new display
The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files"

Any ideas?

Some progress: the above happens because I am using KDM and not GDM.
What is the corresponding to gdmflexiserver to work with KDM?

Thanks, Bill. Your suggestion of using the xterm command is a good
one, but how can one give to USER2 a graphical X session, for
instance, on CTRL+ALT+F8?

Basically you need to run a separate instance of the X server on another
virtual console. This is usually handled by the Display Manager (*not*
the Desktop Manager). Possible display managers include kdm, gdm, xdm
etc. (you can pretty much mix and match display managers and desktops,
e.g. kdm+Gnome). You need to figure out which one you're using and check
its manual, unless XFCE already has a built-in function for this as KDE
and Gnome do.

Or just Google for "multiple x servers".

Thanks, Patrick. In my case, the Display Manager is kdm.

I am still unclear where the two users are. If the second user is on a
different machine this sounds like a job for vncserver and vncviewer.

On my F8 system under Gnome the option is: Applications->System Tools->
New Login. But it is not clear why you want to use this and for what
purpose. It looks like it allows you to login as a new user without
stopping the status of the old login.

The suggestions you received will allow another user login but so will
logging off and logging in again. So is the purpose you are trying to
achieve?
