2014-01-01 13:57:07 David Lee Lambert description When I click on my name in the indicator applet, the first option is "switch user account", followed by a list of users. However, if a user is locked ("passwd -l ..."), the user still shows up; with six unlocked users and six locked users, the list is two long to fit on a screen. More generally, there ought to be a way (configuration file?) to exclude certain users from that list, even without locking their accounts.

Test case: Create a new user account. Open the system menu; the new account should be present. Lock the account using “sudo passwd -l”, and open the menu again; the account should be absent. Unlock the account using “sudo password -u”, and open the menu again; the account should be present once more."
