Hi, everyone --

I'm having an issue with the fast-user-switcher-applet (2.24.0) on squeeze.
The problem is this:  every so often, it stops switching!  I left-click on
it on the panel, pull down to the user I want to switch to, and -- nothing
happens.  It seems to be a problem with the applet itself, since I can get
it to work correctly again by removing the applet from the panel and
reattaching it.

So, two questions:

First, does anyone else have this problem?  I don't see any Debian bugs with
fast-user-switcher-applet, but I may not be searching correctly.  I'm
reluctant to enter a bug report for something which I can't reliably
reproduce and which nobody else has seen (to me, that's more of a UFO
sighting than a bug report).

Second:  is there a command I can use at the command line to switch between
multiple users who are logged in and running gnome, without the need of
passwords?  In other words, I'd like to replicate the FUSA functionality
with a linux command if possible.  We really only have 2 accounts here (mine
and my wife's), so I could put a shortcut on her menus or desktop which
switches to me, and one on mine which switches to her.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice,
-PT
