see no advantage in letting two people use one account.. so *if*
something bad happens, you never know which one of the two did it.

This is not normal. It happens when you close the program with
the close box, but not with the Exit function.

When you exit the program it should cleanly shut down and not
present you the option to reconnect when you come back.

Hi Marcel,

They both share the same desktop, where the shared file
they both use is stored.

If the users are able to see any other users files,
we could get our butts in real legal trouble.

Don't particularity care which one screws it up. I will
just restore from backup and the two users can fight it out
amongst themselves. (Cobian Backup: great stuff!)

Yes, it should, but sometimes it won't. Read more here:

User sessions don't logoff when users quit their starting or
published application
