The idea is that a second (third etc) user should be able to login without the first user logging out (and closing all her programs thereby), as available on Linux and Windows ("logoff" vs "switch user"). > the switching you are looking for was available on mate 1.12 I > think... > > the distribution uses GDM 2.18.9 with the full gdmsetup & friends... > On NetBSD we use gdm 2.20.11 that is quite the same one... and yes, > we have mate 2.19 on NetBSD-8.0 for raspberry pi. Am I right that gdm is the absolute requirement for user switching to work, no other display manager can do that? And while we are at it, I have a couple of questions on Mate (now I have mate-1.18.0 from the vanilla FreeBSD packages): 1. How do I totally disable all volume automounting in Mate/Caja? I'm quite happy with the system automonter and don't need no gvfs and other userland mounts (even more because they don't support Cyrillic filenames correctly). 2. The sound control app in Mate is completely unrelated to the real sound system of FreeBSD (as of 11.2 and mate-1.18.0). The volume and input/output controls do nothing. I have to use the good old /usr/sbin/mixer and "sysctl hw.snd.default_unit" to manipulate with sound. Is this my misconfiguration or Mate's fault? Thanks in advance for any advice. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN AS43859
