Two methods :
1) Type :
$ su <username>
in a terminal window and then execute as that user from there.
2) Go back to a virtual console and login as the new user. Then you can use
$ startx -- :1
and start a second X session as that user. The first GUI should be on
<CRTL><ALT><F7> and the second one on <CTRL><ALT><F8>. Parameters after the
'--' are passed on to the server. I have been able to run gnome, KDE and
Xfce at the same time this way. The ':1' tells the server to use the second
display and leave the one currently running alone.
There should be a way to make this work using Xtart, startkde, startgnome etc.
but I don't know how. I get 'don't own console' errors .
