Hi, Click RMB on the desktop and choose 'Run Command...'. Then type 'kppp' but choose a different user. kppp tries to start for a while but disappears after a few seconds. The same happens for Netscape. So I think it's a bug in the 'Run as...' mechanism there. On the other hand, starting an app from konsole (after 'su otherusername') works fine.
