Here's an alternative, much easier and cleaner solution than Johnny's (with 
all due respect).

1) Make sure /etc/sysconfig/desktop contain DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE".
2) Edit /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. In the General section, add this line:

ReserveServers=:1,:2,:3,:4,:5

3) Restart your computer (or just do "init 3 && init 5").

You'll see that this solution is very clean and integrates perfectly with KDE. 
When a user has locked the screen, there is a button labeled "start new 
session" or something so that you can start a new session. You can switch 
session using the "switch session" item in the K menu. At any time, you can 
use ctrl-alt-F? to switch sessions.

Tell me about your experience!
