Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet

Sometimes when I log in, I only see 'Restart' and 'Shutdown' options in the f-u-s-a. If I remove the applet from the panel and re-add it, then the 'suspend' and 'hibernate' options magically appear in the drop-down, in addition to the already existing 'restart' and 'shutdown'.

I suspect that there is a race between gnome-power-manager and the fast-user-switch-applet. gnome-panel (and f-u-s-a) start in the 'Panel' phase of gnome-session, long before gnome-power-manager starts (in the 'Applications' phase).
