But you'd be surprised to see the percentage of people who choose "switch user" to make way for the next user in a room with public computers ;) If I stop using f-u-s-a, there is a disconnect choice in the System menu. But when I click on it, it proposed me "disconnected" or "swith user" !... It is even worse. It is very disturbing for users, who can not always understand the difference between these two choices. I continue to believe that Ubuntu Jaunty lacks a simple way to disable the "switch user" feature. GConf /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching completely hide f-u-s-a : after that, there is no way to disconnect from the machine, no button ... Finally, the problem is that fusa has a bad name :) This applet can also disconnect, turn off the computer, reboot, which shows the presence, etc.. I will continue to use my own patched version of fusa, because my users really like the presence feature.
