CentOS - Aug 2005 - How to login to a new session?

I have Cent OS 4 with KDE.
How do I enable an option of starting a new session with the current running?

What I want to do is.....If I Lock my Screen, the other user should be
able to Login to a new session on the Same computer.

I hope this is clear.
Thank you.

Ubuntu have this feature, switch users, but I haven't been able to do it 
without losing the other session. [centos 3 & 4]

Here's an alternative, much easier and cleaner solution than Johnny's
(with
all due respect).

1) Make sure /etc/sysconfig/desktop contain DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE".
2) Edit /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. In the General section, add this line:

ReserveServers=:1,:2,:3,:4,:5

3) Restart your computer (or just do "init 3 && init 5").

You'll see that this solution is very clean and integrates perfectly with
KDE.
When a user has locked the screen, there is a button labeled "start new 
session" or something so that you can start a new session. You can switch 
session using the "switch session" item in the K menu. At any time,
you can
use ctrl-alt-F? to switch sessions.

Tell me about your experience!
