Tried that. From the guest user created at installation time I Have a lock screen/suspend/shutdown/logout menu on the right end of the top icon panel. Only the 'switch user' item is greyed out. From my own account, which was copied from Debian Jessie, I have only a logout icon. So it looks as if the matter may depend on the user's xcfe configuration. Perhaps we should be looking at the dotfiles. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
