Really this seems like a simple routine change in the logout/login
process. Currently when a user logs out, it forces all applications to
quit (you know what I mean). Wouldn't it simply be a change in just
performing the logout while the apps continue to run? The login screen
could be somewhat changed to show which users are "active" and an
"active" user would be any user with running applications. This seems
like it is a small change with a huge usable potential.

This is probably easier to do in a Unix and MacOS environment than it is
under Windows. Windows loads this all up when a user logs in whereas
Unix
uses environment variables.
