Open GUI programs as a fast-switched-out user
Authored by: fivefifty on Apr 07, '04 08:46:34PM

Thought I should clarify. The app that's opened opens in the switched-out screen, not the screen of the current displayed user. Thus when you switch back, the program is open. This won't work without screen over ssh if the target user is not console. If you just type "open" after "su"ing in to a switched out user it will open the program as the switched in user.
