Hi everyone,
we have a Mac here which is used by different people during one work day.
The problem is, when X11.app is running for one user, it's not possible
that another user can use X11, too,
which is not that optimal.
Are there any solutions for this problem?
How do you switch users? If you log out one before loggin in the next
one, there is no problem because only one X11 will run at a time. The
only problem that can appear is a stale lock /tmp/.X0-lock that may
remain if X11 crashes.
If you use fast user switching, there is no problem either, because
X11.app automatically uses different DISPLAYs for different users. The
first X11 runs on :0, the second on :1 etc.
