FWIW, my mother has been using 'gdmflexiserver --no-lock' (run from a panel icon) to do fast user switching for several years now. The improvement in recent Fedora releases was to make fast user switching more polished somehow, not to make it possible.

That feature was specifically disabled from Fedora's GNOME, because it previously did not integrate well with Fedora's management of system devices (only the user logged on locally get access to devices such as the sound card).

It is now turned on, after the development of PolicyKit.
