There hasn’t been such a limitation in GNOME for years. OTOH, there is a *design choice* in GDM 2.30+, which is to switch users to a new session instead of starting a new one. This choice is consistent with any thinkable reasonable use of a workstation (except for testing purposes, but a production system should not be tailored for testing requirements). Making the same design choice in systemd is consistent with this, but it is way too restrictive for a low-level component, which could be used by many other things than the display manager. In any case it is completely unrelated to GNOME. -- .''`. Josselin Mouette : :' : `. `' `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
