Missing fast-user-switch icon from Notification Area

Asked by Vinay

After upgrading from Hardy to Interpid, an icon for fast-switch-user applet (Logout button) is missing from the notification area (task bar, i.e. near the clock, topmost right hand corner) on the panel.

I am not sure whether its bug or it has been removed purposefully. If it has been removed, can somebody tell the configuration for that to enable!

Thanx

It does seem strange that it is no longer on the panel. Anyway to restore it to the panel, right click on the panel, in the popup menu choose Add to Panel. Then scroll down and select User Switcher. This should place to back on the panel.

To position in the panel you can right click on it and select move. If another object on the panel is preventing you from placing it where you want, you will have to right-click on that item and deselect Lock to Panel. When everything is positioned properly, I recommend enable Lock to Panel for all you items.

Hope this helps
