Is there a way (10.3) to have a unique display resolution for each user profile?
While I like 1600x1200, my wife needs it dialed down a bit. I using a CRT so "optimal resolution" isn't something I need to worry about.
Thanks
Jason

sure.. just set the desired resolution while logged in, and it will stick to that account.

I found a quirk in OSX then.
You need to log in as each user (not via fast user switching) and set the resolution of choice.
If you fast user switch over to the other user and set to resolution it carries over when you switch back to yourself.
You actually have to log one account out, log in as another, and make the change for the resolution to "stick."

That's a pretty ridiculous bug. 
But unfortunately it's not the only one in FUS. On my iMac G4 at home the middle-click is only accepted as a cmd-click (to open links in new tabs in Safari for example) for the first user logged in. The next user that logs in gets a useless middle mouse button. 
I understand that FUS is new in the Apple world but I hope they can really iron out some of these bugs in further 10.3.x releases instead of just assuming Tiger will deal with them...
