It certainly would be a lot > more fun for me that way! Where did I? Please, tell me, where did _I_ say your software sucked? I gave you a real world (as in, my home) use case. I asked you if PA supported it as is (with or without specific configuration of course), and if not if it could be modified to support it. Your answer at that point seems to be varying between "just disable PA", "you don't want to reconfigure so fuck off" and "why do you hate me", which is kinda... surprising. Please have a beer or any other beverage of choice and a long shower/sleep and try again. > > So now gdm and using a panel is a fedora requirement for multiuser > > support? > > We try our best to supply you with easy-to-use software for doing > f-u-s.

I don't know f-u-s, I barely heard its name before this thread, and given I don't use a panel there is close to no chance I'd find it just by looking around. I'd incidentally be curious to know where I said it wasn't working for me, since I never tried it in the first place. Is wanting to know whether multiuser is only supposed to happen through f-u-s nowadays (vs. multiple X servers on different VCs which is a method that has worked for more years than Fedora has existed) that out-of-line a request? My next question would have been how users coming in through ssh were integrated in that scheme. > > Where fine means "only the currently selected user can do sound", from > > what you wrote too.

I've seen a lot of contradictory handwaving with usually keywords like "ConsoleKit" in the middle, I've yet to see a clear example of such "minimal reconfiguration". I was expecting answers that looked like "you have to configure CK to do X and each user/entry login has to start its own daemon and ..." or "PA can't support it at that point, it needs X added first", that kind of thing. Not what I got. > And I already explained in detail why we chose to do multi-session > support the way we are doing it. We tend to do our stuff for good reasons > the way we do.

The only reason I've seen yet is security in non-trusted multiuser environments. Which is only one kind of environment, no more and no less important than the others like "trusted multiuser", "multihomed", "mediabox" and others.
