But, if the indicator session applet is added any panel, this applet remove the logout user and shutdown menus from system menu. That's true, if you remove the indicator session applet from a panel, the System menu shows the upstream GNOME configurations, i.e. menu entries to lock the screen, logout (logout or change user) and shutdown (shutdown, reboot, suspend). I think if an accessible install happening with any blindness profile, the indicator applet session is not default added a panel. Unfortunately I've no confirm on this. I'll try on a virtual machine, I hope to find some time... For example, if I added this applet my bottom panel and press Super+s key combination, the guest user choose is awailable. If this applet is not enabled, have another way to choose the guest session? It seems that Ubuntu and Canonical provided a graphical user interface for guest session only for indicator session applet. But, basically, that menu entry should simply launch the script /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-launch You could try adding a launcher for this script Guest session user have a default password, or nothing defined and enough to choose for example switch user, and the accessible login dialog enough to choose other... item and type guest username and not type any password? The guest session is not related to any existing user account, but in order to use a guest session you need to have a real user account logged in. We could say that running a guest session the operating system adds a temporay (and restricted) user with a temporary home folder. When you log out from gust session, both temporary user and folder are removed.

Heads up, shortcut key to access messaging/sound indicator menus.
Hi guys I just found out today that there is a shortcut key to access the messaging, bluetooth, power and sound indicator menus from anywhere within the GNOME/Ubuntu desktop. At the moment, I believe this keyboard shortcut is not configurable, however perhaps someone can look into making this configurable, if upstream haven't looked into doing so already. To access the messaging, bluetooth, sound, and power indicator menus, press Windows key + M, or if you prefer the Unix term, Super + M. Then you use the arrow keys to move between the menus. When you press escape, focus will return to whereever you were prior to entering the menus. I really hope this helps some people. I know I am finding this useful myself.

Re: Heads up, shortcut key to access messaging/sound indicator menus.
Hy Luke, Unfortunately my system this key combination is nothing to do. What packages and applets need installed to work this? I removed my system the evolution related packages, because I better like with Thunderbird, and removed Empathy related packages, because better like Pidgin. :-):-) Possible this is the matter?

Re: Heads up, shortcut key to access messaging/sound indicator menus.
Hi Attila, The keystroke isn't working on my laptop either. And I haven't removed either Evolution or Empathy, although I have installed Pidgin and Thunderbird as well.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Do either of you have another key mapped to the super key (or windows key if you prefer)? It's common to map this to the compose key, however this changes the key from a Super to a Multi and thus renders the shortcut invalid.

Hi, I've got it working. Seems I was missing the panel applet from my top panel.

Configurability would be a good thing though, and maybe the default could be mapped to something a bit more natural, e.g. panel menu is alt+f1, run is alt+f2, search is alt+f3 etc, perhaps alt+f4 or something? Super+M just seems arbitrary by GNOME convensions. Alt + F4 is close window/app, so thats no use, but I wil see what I can do about changing it for future releases.

Re: Heads up, shortcut key to access messaging/sound indicator menus.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577226 It seems there is a bug preventing you to use this shortcut if you are using Compiz window manager. Basically Win+M is used by neg and mag Compiz plugin too. See the bug for details, but currently I can't suggest a workaround that work for sure, maybe switch to Metacity window manager. However, there is another useful shortcut: Win+S to open the session indicator menu.
