Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

Using kdebase-workspace 4:4.0.1-0ubuntu2, clicking on "Switch user" from the K menu (in the "Leave" section) only starts KRunner (as Alt-F2 does), but does not allow to switch to another user.

I'm using Kubuntu Hardy and kdm3 as login manager. Does it require kdm-kde4 to work properly?

WORKAROUND: chose "Lock" instead and then from the unlock dialog, chose "Switch user..."

It is supposed to do that, and then when KRunner pops up you have to type this really long string command with a bunch of flags for it to work.

Just kidding, I can confirm this one. As for requiring kdm-kde4, I do not know, but when using kdm for kde3, it pops up krunner. I will look into this further and see what I find. Thanks for the report!

Very logical, there is no support for 'real' multi-sessioning, so KDE will just invoke another KDM session on a different display. KDE 4 probably expects KDM 4 to be running for that, but then again, since KDM 4 isn't that different from KDM 3 IIRC it should probably be possible to make it work with KDM 3 as well.

KDE 4.1 on Intrepid pops up the new session dialog as expected.
