Binary package hint: gconf-editor

Due to errors in the ATI driver, I need to disable fast user switching

As root I launch gconf-editor and set /desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching = True as mandatory

I verify that this setting is propagated to the user level by running gconf-editor as a standard user and verifying the setting.

The system=>Logout... menu still gives a "Switch User" option.
