How just change user in Xfce ?

Hello,

sorry for the title of the thread... not explicit !

In Gnome/KDE, we can change sur within close actually session. How do this in Xfce ?

A solution is :
launch an xterm
su with my new user
X :2&
startx :2

But, if a simple solution exists, as Gnome or KDE, i would like want it :-)

Thanks for your helps !

Re: How just change user in Xfce ?

AFAIK, Gnome and KDE do this by interfacing with their respective display managers (GDM and KDM). XFCE doesn't have a display manager, so...

One solution: write a shell script that uses zenity to get the username and password then uses sudo (has to be sudo, su can't read the password from stdin) to set up the new session.
