Description Martin-Éric Racine 2006-01-08 17:18:33 UTC 
When double-clicking on a user in the Change User dialog, a second GDM is started, which means the user was preselected for nothing, because the username must be entered again in the GDM greeter. 

Perhaps a more practical solution would be to call gksu with that username as an argument, at which point the user inputs their password in gksu's password field to start the second X11 session?
