</div>Yes, keeping the session sounds very complicated (though that's probably<br>
what people want, for most it probably wouldn't make a difference<br>
between rebooting or just restarting X). For the manual switch, I'm not<br>
sure how complicated that really would be - of course lacking<br>
documentation would be a problem.</blockquote><div><br>I think a user logout->login, which at least in Ubuntu corresponds to a gdm restart nowadays, is a much<br>leaner option than a cold reboot of the system. You only lose the opened windows,<br>
but all services like connection to internet, etc, are kept alive, so it's better than a reboot.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>Well, for WiFi chips there's always the hope it will be supported in the<br>
future :-).<br>
