Re: [BLUG] Multiple Users

I missed the beginning of this thread, so if I'm totally off base, then
ignore me.

I did a fast user switch from gnome and while my audio did stop, all of
the other processes running doing network things continued as normal.

Why would normal processes stop "in theory" when switching users?
That's what a multiuser system is for :)
