Bug Description

Sound indicator:
 * Can start Banshee
 * Can enter sound settings

Date indicator:
 * Can enter time settings

Session indicator:
 * Can enter lots of settings
 * Additionally, can do some things like switching users and logging out that don't make sense

The solution I'm thinking of right now is to have some environment variable like INDICATOR_GREETER_MODE that when set, changes the behavior of the greeters.
