Switch user ... cannot be removed

[Torsten Spindler]

Binary package hint: indicator-session

When setting the /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching flag, the Switch user ... menu entry still remains and works. It would be great if this lock down mechanism would work.

[Torsten Spindler (tspindler)]

The lockdown works with the recent indicator-session in Lucid:

indicator-session: 0.2.2-0ubuntu1

First disable user switching with gconf-editor, then logout, log back in and user switching is gone.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

I can't get it to work on current lucid, suspecting that the user list should be gone once that setting is changed?

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

for the record, I've set it mandatory, and rebooted etc but still I see some local users listed there, and selecting them "something" happens (dunno what, bug 511134 is preventing to let me see it)

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

After a reinstall the local users are gone from the menu, but I still see "guest session" there, and selecting it works.

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-session - 0.2.6-0ubuntu1
