</I>><i> If she presses ctl+alt+f2 when at the login prompt, all she sees is a

</I>><i> So stand by my original suggestion that if you are running a graphical

i think graphical users will use graphical ways of getting to their session
(as does my wife), usually the current session is locked and she switches to
her own, or she switches to her own, which causes mine to be locked.
even i do it like this instead of pressing ctrl+alt+Fx ...
