Since I share this laptop with my wife and son, it is a real pain having to reboot everytime we want to switch uers. I ran the command and parms you asked for.
Here is the output: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gdmflexiserver --debug --xnest Sending command: 'VERSION' Got response: 'GDM 2.14.10' Sending command: 'GET_CONFIG daemon/PidFile :0.0' Got response: 'OK /var/run/gdm.pid' Sending command: 'CLOSE' Sending command: 'VERSION' Got response: 'GDM 2.14.10' Sending command: 'AUTH_LOCAL 46ea1e18e1cc5bf2cf18fa2ecdee94cd' Got response: 'OK' Sending command: 'AUTH_LOCAL 46ea1e18e1cc5bf2cf18fa2ecdee94cd' Got response: 'OK' Sending command: 'QUERY_VT'.

Please install the XNest package in order to use the nested login." I then used Synaptic Package Manager to install Xnest and re-ran the command you requested: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gdmflexiserver --debug --xnest Sending command: 'VERSION' Got response: 'GDM 2.14.10' Sending command: 'GET_CONFIG daemon/PidFile :0.0' Got response: 'OK /var/run/gdm.pid' Sending command: 'CLOSE' Sending command: 'VERSION' Got response: 'GDM 2.14.10' Sending command: 'AUTH_LOCAL 46ea1e18e1cc5bf2cf18fa2ecdee94cd' Got response: 'OK' Sending command: 'AUTH_LOCAL 46ea1e18e1cc5bf2cf18fa2ecdee94cd' Got response: 'OK' Sending command: 'QUERY_VT' Got response: 'OK 7' Sending command: 'AUTH_LOCAL 46ea1e18e1cc5bf2cf18fa2ecdee94cd' Got response: 'OK' Sending command: 'CONSOLE_SERVERS' Got response: 'OK :0,mcolburn,7' Sending command: 'FLEXI_XNEST :0 1000 46ea1e18e1cc5bf2cf18fa2ecdee94cd /home/mcolburn/.Xauthority' Then I got a popup that said, "Cannot start new display.
