I have the fast-user-switch-applet installed (I use ubuntu and it's in
the hoary-backports). It is a panel applet that provides you a list of
users on the system and lets you selecet between them. If they are
logged in, then it switching to their desktop, if not, it lets them log
in.

Also, xscreensaver can now launch a new login when locked, which is
nice.

If those features aren't in Fedora yet, there's still
Applications/System Tools/New Login, which has been around for a while.
That will, however, require an unlocked screensaver to launch.
