Hello Dovel,

Not going to change to an applet I don't even want on my panel. It
has no use for me.
If you don't need it, just remove it, and the System menu entries will
reappear.

About the implementation of this patch: isn't there any way FUSA could
disable stuff in the gnome-panel, instead of the gnome-panel looking for
FUSA? That would be a little more future-proof. FUSA might not be around
forever.
Not really

BTW, I happened to like these items under system. I also like to be able
to switch users fast, but I don't like the fact that fusa can do all
kinds of other stuff as well, like configuring the login screen,
displaying pidgin status, etc. But
You need to install the user switcher yourself, I'm afraid. Right click
on the top panel, choose Add to Panel and go from there. I would
recommend putting it in the top right.

Thanks but the user switcher, when added to the panel, does not include
the shutdown or restart options, which is what I am looking for. I even
tried reloading the applet from synaptic. No worries. I'm just about
to start a fresh install.

That was bug 274146, but it does not apply to everyone, just to
everyone who previously had fusa or the logout applet.

It would be poor to end up with multiple menu items on the panel that do

behavior for folks who are used to the old way of doing it?
