I'm not really sure since I haven't tested it, but you could change the line in $KDEDIR/share/config/kdmrc from

Source code

 
1

ReserveServers=:1,:2,:3
to

Source code

 
1

ReserveServers=:1

this is a user forum, not a developer forum :)

You can't remove switch user from the menu, but you can disable it.

Change the line bram mentioned into this:

Source code

 
1

ReserveServers=:0


or this:

Source code

 
1

ReserveServers=



that way only one X-server can be started, and that is the current one.

Well, I found 2 solutions for this:

1. In Kubuntu, choose the recovery option you will be logged as root and start the KDE with startx command. The Switch User is not shown at Kmenu.

2. Get a distro shipping with KDE 3.3: Debian Sarge, CentOS or Linspire/Freespire.

see my comment at
Remove Switch User From K Menu

the reason kmenu does not show the option is because kdm needs to be running for that.
and kdm does not run in a non grafical runlevel.

you can also replace kdm with another display manager, like xdm or another..
if you choose an alternative display manager that does not support multiple sessions of kde, then the option will dissapear as well.
