Thanks for the heads up Warren!



K12LTSP sets the MaxSessions value to 250, rather than the
default of 16. That helps a tiny bit.

One of the suggestions in the bug report is to edit 
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and set:

	MaxSessions=9999

and restart gdm (or just reboot...)

Another option is to switch over to KDM by editing
/etc/sysconfig/desktop and adding the line:

	DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"

and rebooting. This will only change the display manager,
your default session (GNOME, IceWM, etc) should remain the
same.
