It takes more time to load the X login screen.

True, but you don't have to use a login screen (unless you have more /home/x dir's).
In Slack, I boot directly in my personal user account.

Ok, i will explain more shit. I dont like one thing in linux (currently having 2.4.20 version of kernel, but if this bug is kernel problem, it is too shine to miss it).
===================================
Then i work with linux (for example login as root), and do startx, do graphic interface, etc, browse net and so on.
And I plan to change user. I logout, to the text environment, login user, password, everything is ok.
i do startx.
I see strange view during X startup for about 2 seconds. Lets say you divide your screen in 2 equal parts. Top part, and bottom part. And you, during those 2 seconds, see black in top part, and in bottom part you see... half of screenshot, which was made before last session logout. yes, half of screenshot.
So imagine, you login as root, launch X interface, and watch porn. And you logout of system, and shutdown PC. Next day some kind of user will turn up comp, login in HIS account, and he will see view of gmplayer, playing porn movie, (in bottom part of screen) for 2 seconds, after that X interface will be ready and that user will do stuff in his account.
Thats damn hole, lack of privacy, to avoid serious shit you have to close all windows before logout, cuz some kind of user can see *important document* or email letter, or smth.. well i hope you understood this, and probably even encountered this problem themselves

That's all cause you didn't configure it like a multi-user system.
Add an other user for every person and your privacy problem will be solved. ;)
PS: Don't confuse 'root' with a second user...
If you login as a second /home/user, X will only restart where this second user stoped (and show his own porn images ;) )

It does, I've seen it. Unless you actually do a hard reboot, the video ram is not purged on some cards.
