Yes....as far as I know, the switch user feature is not the same as two
users logged into ttyl on a single machine. I believe the system will
suspend active processes in the session when that session is "switched" for
another.

I am not an expert on this feature however. Perhaps a visit to freenode and
ubuntu-devel might get you some better advice.

If not, the forums are also a good option. This issue is more about
continuing an active process than something Xpresser specific.

Unless anyone else on the list has a solution?

Chris
