switching users... forget it!

[accessys at smart.net]

yes linux is peculiar about that kind of stuff
I have probably at one time or another used most of the distros
currently have kubuntu 12.4 on my big box but interestingly
when I boot it shows a Debian login page then switches to Kubuntu.
has always done this and appears to be nothing more than "interesting"

as for switching users.

I have my regular users and have set up a "guest" and "service" accounts 
so my stuff and root stay off limits.  is easy enough to do in your gui 
even got to "System settings" then "User management" and it will ask for 
your root password and opens a panel that allows you to set up a new user.

this is graphics in Kubuntu 12.4 but other Kubuntus should be similar

then to switch users is simple logout and log in as new user.

Bob.
