Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : [SOLVED] No "Switch User" Option in KDE 3.3.0

I'm currently running KDE 3.3.0 after upgrading from using KDE 3.2.1 on SuSE 9.1. On 3.2.1, whenever I would right-click on the desktop, I would get a bottom menu with three options: "Switch User", "Lock Screen", and "Logout '[username]'...". Now I get only two options: "Lock Session" and "Logout '[username]'...".

How can I add the "Switch User" option to the context menu so that I can run multiple KDE sessions at the same time? I've searched through KDE Control Center and found nothing to aid me.

After much poking around on Google, I finally found a solution:

Uncomment or add the following lines in /usr/kde/3.3/share/config/kdm/Xservers:

:1 local@tty2 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp: 1
:2 local@tty3 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp: 2
:3 local@tty4 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp: 3
:4 local@tty5 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp: 4

After that, a "Start New Session" option should appear when right-clicking on the desktop.
