Wow, is that possible?  From your description it seems so; that would be
really cool!

I think that if we had this feature, it wouldn't be hard to add another
feature I'd really like to see; a Windows XP style login.  I was really
impressed when I used XP for the first time a while ago.  When the
screensaver kicks in, you can log in not only as the current user, but
as any other user as well.  So basically the screensaver just becomes a
login prompt.  I find that very convenient, more than the current "New
login" GDM thing (although that is nice).
