Bug Description

the switch over code for merging the switch user actions into the logout actions works great - but unfortunately only for the first user doing the upgrade.

for another user logging in it is not obvious how to start this (resp. i did not see it at all).

Could you please provide the version of Ubuntu you are currently running and the version of which you have upgraded?
If I understand you correctly: when you press the power button, only one user gets the "Switch User" option?

This bug was fixed in the package update-notifier - 0.71.6

---------------
update-notifier (0.71.6) intrepid; urgency=low

  * ui/hooks-dialog.glade:
    - make it avaialble via alt-tab
  * src/update.c, src/update-notifier.c:
    - allow running for non-admin users so that they can
      see the hook notifications too (LP: #281837)
    - ensure that its not run for the gdm guest user
  * src/hooks.c:
    - add optional "OnlyAdminUsers" key (defaults to "true")
      so that non-admin users get not swamped with old
      notifications after the ugprade to intrepid
