if using two users, one does not work

 

I have two users setup.
a
b

I have Xpresser successfully working in user a.
     It is doing gui testing on a flash website.

When I switch users (login to user a) xpresser seems to no longer work.

Why would that be?


More detail:
I have xpresser rapped in a larger python program that is inserting rows
and times into a postgres database so I can do performance measurements.
It works great.
but it is always using the screen for testing.
So I created user b so I can query the database while xpresser is doing its
work.

The problem is - while I am logged in as user b - I get a buch of inserts
in the database now (I still have inserts in database while failures so I
can count my failures)but xpresser is not finding the images.

Why is that?



Does Ubuntu kill the screen on the other user (user a) while I am logged
into the other user (user b)?

As it is now, I have to stay logged in as user a for xpresser to do its
thing and find the images.
