You can run another app if you use the terminal...just type su
<username> to login as that user, then just use the open command to open
that app up under that user. Takes care of the authentication :D

I don't think "logging in beside" another user is a big deal.
However, it'd be nice to be able to launch an app as a different user.
Thus, while dad's surfing, Bobby can launch Mail as "bobby" and get his
email from his mac.com account.
All that would really require - I think - is the ability to open an app
as a different user, and all that requires is a prompt for the
username/password and the use of that user's userDefaults file.
This seems like it could be done. Perhaps even in a "virtual desktop"
thing like that Space open source thingy. Maybe two copies of Mail
could be
running - one in each virtual "space."
