I'd like to get fast-user switching functionality into 2.14. There are two paths, the easy way, by just including the by-now-stable FUSA applet ( http://ignore-your.tv/fusa/ ) I maintain in the Desktop Release -- it already ships in breezy universe. Alternately, the code (some of which is already used in gnome-screensaver) can be merged directly into the panel. The current applet doesn't work with KDM, but the backend exists behind a set of objects so it's easy enough to add such a feature (or move all *DM IPC to D-BUS) in the future without horribly breaking things or requiring changes outside the backend objects. At any rate, if the former is the way to go, I can add pages to the wiki and do whatever else needs to be done to get FUSA into that state (obviously, pointers on what I need to do are helpful, particularly regarding the wiki). If the latter is the preferred option, I help with/do that as well, though how user switching should integrate with the panel is an open question -- moving the applet menu to a "Switch To" submenu under the System/Desktop/{whatever it's called this release ;-)} menu seems like a natural fit to me, but other opinions are obviously welcome. -- Peace, James Cape Space Monkey, 3rd Degree Project Mayhem http://ignore-your.tv/ http://blog.ignore-your.tv/
