I have Linux Mint 17.2 KDE. I have several user accounts. I often use them at the same time for different tasks. My use case is like this:

  1. Login as user1.
  2. Start program A.
  3. Ctl+Alt+L --> "Switch users" -- New X login session is started.
  4. In this new session - login as user2.
  5. Start program B.
  6. Use Ctl+Alt+F7 and Ctl+Alt+F8 to switch between sessions of user1 and user2.

I would like to have 3 X login sessions started automatically at system startup, that I avoid using Ctl+Alt+L --> "Switch users" to start new sessions. How can I do that?

Update: From the comment I understood that it can be done in display manager. In Mint I can see is used MDM. Do you have any idea how to configure it according to my needs?

    Not familiar with what Mint uses by default, but usually you'd configure the display manager. Some display managers don't allow autostart, then you'll have to use a different display manager.

  • Sorry, I've never used MDM. The source for the principal documentation seems to be here, I'd suppose there's a man-page or similar produced from that installed on your system. Reading the existing configuration files usually also helps.

Ok, the solution is to add to file /etc/mdm/mdm.conf in section [servers] config of other X servers:

1=Standard
2=Standard
