I'm not sure if this is quite on-topic for the art list, but it has to do with visual presentation so I thought I'd try here first:
As it is the top panel in Ubuntu is as cluttered or more cluttered than Windows or Mac desktops, with the addition of another panel at the bottom. One item that is significant taking up a lot of space on the upper panel is the fast user switching applet, which manifests itself as text showing the current user name. This is a great feature. However, I would *guess* that for greater than 50% of Ubuntu users this is unnecessary as they are using the machine as a *personal* computer and as such they are the only user registered on the system. This makes the applet pointless and it only adds to clutter and eating away at space. Could Ubuntu be configured to intelligently only add the applet if there is more than one user registered to the system?
