Details

Since in Arch the vt 8-12 are not used it would be possible to use one or two of them for new kde sessions, --> you can work with 2 or 3 users at the same time, by switching between F7 , F8 , F9 etc.

It's pretty easy to add this function all you have to do:

open the file /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xservers
add the following line for each new vt:

:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8

and so on depends on how much are needed
i think one or two are enough
hope it will get into arch
This task depends upon

It could be useful, but I think something like that is probably better left to the individual user to tamper with. Most users won't want multiple X VTs.

that's a feature of kde to start a new session only if it's needed
for example if someone locks the screen than a button appears start new session or in the K-Menu also a Button appears
the vt is blank if it's not needed
