Actions menu was not its place. It's better done in the screensaver, so
that when you lock your workstation, another user can come to the PC and
open a new session, or switch to an existing one.
Well, sure, but shouldn't *both* exist? Having to load the screensaver to swap users seems quite a strange solution, although if the user walks away from his workstation (and locks it, or the screensaver comes up automatically), it's certainly a logical solution.
The facility to do this in the screensaver; is this going to be added into xscreensaver, or a gnome-specific fork of the application (which can understand Gnome stuff)?
