You can create two users: user1 and user2. Give them the *same* uid (the same decimal number that identifies users in /etc/passwd) and the same group id, but different home directories. Because you have different home directories, your users can have different desktops. Also, symlinking the evolution directories should work (or hardlinking them if that fails) because all the permissions will be OK. > The only other possible solution I can see is to somehow run two > xwindows servers for 1 user. I don't know how that can be done. That's easy; I do it all the time. Just have gdm or xdm start up two servers in different virtual consoles. On Debian, I just make sure these two lines are in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf: [servers] 0=Standard 1=Standard -- David.
