(Get the code!)
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from: Compiled From Sources
Compiler: GCC 3.4.2 Fedora Core 3 x86_64
OS: NetBSD
When a user is already logged in a KDE session, Kdm should prevent that same user to start a new KDE session.
Currently, when multiple sessions are enabled or when user activates 'Switch User' -> 'Start New Session', the same user can start several concurrent KDE sessions. This causes undesired behaviour in many places and should be avoided.
Correct behaviour would be to warn with something like:
"User X already logged in (:0, vt7)"
and add a choice between:
- Switch to that user's existing session
- Cancel (come back to kdm), clearing login name.
The warning could be given as soon as the user name is entered (i.e before a password is given).
