Yup. It's not as user friendly as if the same login screen could
be
used by multiple users, then have some kind of "switch login to other
active session" in some menu, but it wasn't that hard to teach my
girlfriend to switch between Alt+Ctrl+F7 and Alt+Ctrl+F8 to find her
desktop.
fast user switching is actually available in gnome 2.14 via
gdm-flexiserver and is exposable in the screensaver and as a menu
entry via a compile time options. The menu entry and the screensaver
support are delibrately turned off in Fedora exactly because all the
peices to make dealing with device permission policy are not there yet
(ie PolicyKit).
