Bug Description

Quite a few support issues, for software purchases, are due to people signed into the wrong ubuntu sso account. It's easy to create multiple accounts and once you are logged in we provide no "logout".

One way of solving this might be to add "File" > "Sign Out".

Another way might be to have an always-visible banner showing who you are signed in as.

We might want to fold the "stop recommendations" into this too for example (and remove the current view/turn off recommendations).

The Ubuntu One Music Store has an equivalent problem.
