I have a Debian Sarge system on a 1.8 GHz Pentium. In gdm.conf, it is configured to have three separate X servers on VT7, VT8, and VT9. (There's also a "second seat" with its own screen and keyboard, but that's another story.). Each person in the house (there are three) can stay logged in on one of the VTs at the main seat, keying Ctrl-Alt-F7 (or F8 or F9) to instantly bring up the right screen. However, there is a few small issues! If a user is logged in, e.g. on VT8, and then does Ctrl-Alt-F9 and logs in on VT9, the desktop is not quite right. Specifically: - All the file icons look like a tilted, curled sheet of paper with the upper left corner turned over. I can't find this icon in the set that is available under Desktop Preferences-Theme-Theme details-icons. - The text in the desktop and in Gnome terminal is a different size. It looks to me like Gnome is opening some configuration file for read-write access. When the second instance of Gnome tries to open the file read-write, it can't, since the first instance already has it open. So it goes to a default. Any suggestions?
