Hi,

I've been working on patching uxlaunch to support an external session                                    
switcher[1] as well as doing such a session switcher[2] the last few                                     
evenings. RPMs are available in my home on OBS[3], would be nice to have                                 
feedback from those of you having several UX installed, and currently                                    
use other hacks to switch between them.                                                                  
                                                                                                         
                                                                                                         
Current features, all of them can be disabled[4]:                                                        
- Select UX                                                                                              
- Select user                                                                                            
- Go through PAM password auth (useful for unlocking cryptofs through                                    
  pam, for example)                                                                                      
                                                                                                         
                                                                                                         
To install,                                                                                              
- configure the repository[3]                                                                            
- install uxselect                                                                                       
- update uxlaunch                                                                                        
- add chooser=/usr/bin/uxselect to /etc/sysconfig/uxlaunch                                               
- (optionally) edit /etc/xdg/aard/uxselect.conf                                                          
- kill uxlaunch or reboot
