Steve Lidie reported a problem with X11 and multiple users.
I see what Martin Costabel sees, that after User A (who is
in X11) does a fast user switch to User B, /tmp contains a
.x0-lock but no .x1-lock. But once User B launches X11,
then you should see a .x1-lock in /tmp as well.
However, X applications still won't work because User B's
display is set to :0.0 (i.e. client apps like xclock will
show up on A's screen, but not on B's). User B should get
an error message like "connection to :0.0 refused by server".
User b must do a "setenv DISPLAY :1.0" in csh or tcsh, or
the equivalent (DISPLAY-:1.0;export DISPLAY) in sh or bash.
I've suggested to Apple that they set the DISPLAY to 1..n
when switching to user 1..n.
By the way, the "connection to :0.0 refused by server" will
go away if User A does "xhost localhost" but with B's display
still set to :0.0, all clients will show up on A's screen.
So, bottom line for now is: setenv DISPLAY :1
