* need an easy "switch user" button, like Windows XP. => central management of consoles. * nice to know who is logged in on the console. "Shutdown" (both shutdown(8) and kdm/gdm's shutdown) should warn you if someone is logged in. (local vs remote). * nice to be able to save login sessions, like screen(1) does. * so, we want some consoled that probably has all the functionality of gdm/kdm/xdm, screen, login, shutdown and possibly ssh. Maybe it delegates most of it's functionality to these programs? Maybe it's just a data repository that tells these programs who is logged in (?) * while I'm whinging: X should respect the DISPLAY enviroment variable, rather than the clunky "X :n" syntax.
