The screensaver login box for KDE does not allow for entering a
different user nor did the root password work for the normal user.

Now, to qualify a bit, the login box does allow for starting a new
session as a different user but, in that case, the original user's
session is still active.  That is not what I wanted to accomplish.

I'll have to try that sometime.

Thanks.
