I know that in previous versions of OpenSuSE one could be in front of the screen/KBD/mouse get things started, and log into another session and get things started there and run some apps, and so on. Now with OpenSuSE 11.x I see no means in which to do so. Is there another way?
Point being is that I want to run one application as one user session and another application in yet another user session. Either one I can get to by switching user accounts at one screen/kbd/mouse. Or through VNC.
No need to run something like xen or VMWare and incur additional overhead. (It is next on my list to try though.

Thanks!
So I am using openSUSE 11.4 and KDE 4.6 and once I log into KDE, I have an option to switch users, without closing the present session where I could leave something running. This would be done all from the same terminal and not exactly a multi-user setup, but a multi-session setup I would say. Have you seen this option before in KDE?
Like @jdmcdaniel3 I do not quite understand you. Running multiple session with the same or different users on the system itself (not remote) using the Logical screens od the X-server (where you can switch between them with Ctrl=-Alt-Fn) is working in 11.4 as it did before.
But as you are very scanty with your information, we could misunderstand you. You better describe exactly ho you did in earlier levels when it worked and what you do now and where you get stuck. Exact information instead of a vague story is needed when describing most computer problems and this one is no exception.
