[TriLUG] Multiple Evolution Users

[Jeff Tickle]

Thanks for the sudo idea... it got me heading in the right direction.  I
got it all configured, but sudo'ed apps apparently have issues
connecting to the X server.  So I did some googling on that and ended up
finding "xsu", which basically does exactly what I wanted in the first
place... you run xsu, and it'll ask for a path, a user, and a pass.  Or
you can specify any of the three at the command line.

So I have:  xsu -u user -c evolution-1.4

It's very awesome.  ;-)
