Check back in the archives. (I only keep 14 days of emails)
This was covered and Switch User has been disabled due to its many
problems.
A way to enable was given but discouraged.

I've no idea. But just minor thinking about it makes me wonder if
there wouldn't be conflicts
in ownership of system hardware? Which DE/session owns the audio?
Network interfaces?
I was under the impression that Gnome dealt with this, though I don't
know the details. Why would running multiple DEs be any different from
running multiple users? I can see how audio might be an issue, but
network interfaces are designed to be shared.
