On my F8 system under Gnome the option is: Applications->System Tools->
New Login. But it is not clear why you want to use this and for what
purpose. It looks like it allows you to login as a new user without
stopping the status of the old login.

The suggestions you received will allow another user login but so will
logging off and logging in again. So is the purpose you are trying to
achieve?
