2009-03-13 11:40:32 Markus Birth description Two days ago, I tried desktop-switcher in Jaunty on my Netbook and switched from nbr to normal desktop and back. After that, the fast-user-switching-applet was missing in my panel in nbr mode. Switching to normal desktop brought it back but it was still missing after switching back to nbr. Now after some search I found out that desktop-switcher somehow set the desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching to TRUE which caused the FUSA to hide itself. Since I didn't have this option enabled before, it should not be set when switching desktop modes.

2009-03-17 16:15:54 Neil J. Patel desktop-switcher: statusexplanation Thanks for reporting this bug. The reason desktop-switcher disables fast-user-switching is that most Xorg drivers do not support opengl acceleration on anything but the first screen. This means that the user which logged in using fast-user-switching will have terrible launcher /desktop performance. The system basically becomes unusable. How does it work on your hardware?
