I don't understand why this patch is a good idea for most users. Am I right in understanding that if you set "/apps/fast-user-switch-applet/show_screen_item = never", then the "Switch User" option does not even display when there are more than 15 users? If that's the case, then how does one switch user when there are more than 15 users? That sort-of completely defeats the purpose of the f-u-s-a if that is the case, and I think your use case is quite unusual (wanting to permanently hide the "Switch User" option because it confuses your users). If you don't want to see that option and you have more than 15 users, you would be better off just not using the applet at all.
