Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

With the default Unity desktop for Ubuntu 11.4 there will only be one system bar which is placed on the top of the screen. The bar on the bottom will vanish (and remain available just for the users of the Classic Gnome interface).

The GDM bar (with the list of the different sessions and the shutdown button) should therefore be moved to the top of the screen to offer a coherent boot experience.

And it should be turned into a black bar to match the Unity one. Again for the sake of coherence between the standard desktop look and the standard GDM look.

Since fixing the bug shouldn't require too much computer science, I plan to nominate it for the papercut project.

As gdm is being replaced by lightgm as the new default this bug is no longer valid. Lightgm has these options at the top right of the screen.
