Thought so. A workaround may be to install different desktop  
environments and applications on some hosts.

KDE, although I don't plan to use it at the site; it's too slow over  
the 2.5Mbps WAN links.

The current plan is to use Xfce, although I assume that I will see  
many of the same problems as with KDE (most of the apps will be the  
same).

Unfortunately, the staff aren't that knowledgeable and it must be  
possible to use the other workstations independently anyway. It's just  
that sometimes one of the buildings is understaffed and personnel find  
it very convenient to simultaneously login to hosts on different floors.
