Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-applet-session

In Karmic Alpha 5, indicator-applet-session provides functionality that was previously assumed by the fast-user-switcher.

However, it doesn't list other users as fast-user-switcher did, which is a regression and inconvenient:
- having other users listed provides easy user switching for non-technical users;
- on slow machines, switching to an other user (especially to one that is already logged in) takes significantly more time and stresses the limited resources (opening gdm can take a long time and make the computer work like crazy), when the previous behavior allows direct switching (as fast as a CTRL-ALT-F#, but accessible to less experienced users ;) ).
