Latest update does not move itself to the right of panel, or remove the logout icon (as the changelog suggests it should)

Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet

In Intrepid the latest update to f-u-s-a said that it would move the applet to the right of panel (to replace the power/logout button).

The update doesn't do this for existing accounts (it only works for the guest acount, presumably because that is created new each use). As a result, as well as Intrepid alpha testers this may affect upgraders from Hardy.

Also, it doesn't remove the power/logout icon which it is supposed to replace.
And, it doesn't add the separator between time/date and the applet (which again I've seen in the correctly arranged guest account).

To reproduce: update an alpha 5 or earlier build of intrepid with the latest f-u-s-a. Notice that the applet is in the same place as in Hardy, and the power/logout icon is visible and in the same place as in Hardy. Next, create a guest session. Notice that there is no power/logout icon, and the f-u-s-a is in its place instead.

Expected behaviour: In exisiting accounts when upgrading the f-u-s-a the applet should be moved to the right, should delete the logout/power button and should add a separator between itself and the clock.

Confirming.

Just upgraded one of my other machines from Hardy to Intrepid, and this problem does affect upgrades as well.

In Intrepid-Beta, the applet appears in the right place and the power/logout button is missing. Great!

Now: Can the default setting be changed to not show the logged in user but resemble the logout/power button from Hardy?
