The solution, then, is to add the necessary hooks to gnome-panel, so that any panel-applet with a menu can be sanely (eg. volume control, nm- applet, ...) opened using the same keyboard sequence. This is something that could benefit from proper fixing, as there are only so-many "special" keys and

Agree with Kent and Craig. Why something has to be either keyboard or mouse? I am loving Jaunty so far, except for this - and I fail to see any reason for such braindead behavior. It's good to at least have an option to add "Shutdown/logout/whatever" in my menu WITHOUT removing the applet. I thin

Users do not expect such behavior to exist. I would not remove my only way to shutdown/logoff/etc. either. And what if some users want both to exist? I think they should have the option. I think the name of the "Fast User Switcher Applet" says for itself its "purpose." We shouldn't dictate the "ru

Good news! If I remove the applet, the menu item will return. Bad news: There is an old idea in user interface design, the "principle of least astonishment". This automagic feature is a bad idea. If one is dismayed that the quit menu item is missing, why would one remove the only quit feature t

Josh Lee: Thanks for the tip. But I don't know why you do as if that were obvious – I didn't think of something like that. I don't think one must choose between the two things – per default they could both be there. Those who don't like the panel applet can remove it via its context menu, those

Another vote for this being a mistake. I have a notebook computer. This means: 1. I have limited screen real estate. 2. I seldom quit or logout, I nearly always suspend to RAM. The menubar is *very* privileged territory. To require a special power button thingie up there, little as it is,

I myself think "Leave" functions, specially shutdown/reboot, etc., should be added back under the system menu as this is simple usability. I can not believe it was taken out. It should not have to exist in a panel that users may or may not want in their panel. It is also an accessibility mistake i
