[nflug] Lost ability to login as different user

[Robert F. Stockdale IV]

You know I was wondering, if instead of login in as a different user, if 
there might be a way to use one of the other virtual terminals as 
another graphical login. Say I've got my workstation screen locked. My 
wife or son wants to go on. I'm not home or I don't want to unlock my 
screen. If they hit say ctrl + alt +F5 they could get a new instance of 
[xdm | kdm | gdm] and login. when I come back to my workstation I hit 
ctrl + alt +F7 and unlock the screen which was never logged out of.
Is this possible?
