The quit applet was changed in Intrepid, but there is still potential to improve it. For this reason the QuitAppletPlus project was started and it's ready for your feedback now! :) It's not a replacement for the current Intrepid fast-switch-user applet, the ideas from both should be merged.
Highlights:
- all quit actions (seven!) are easy available, without overloading the view
- more intuitive action names and icons for inexperienced users
- configurable quit applet menu design/behavior
- protection against accidentally choosing wrong actions without "Are you sure?"-confirmations
- extended quit options, hidden by default
- alternative approach to protect other logged-in users if you perform shut down or restart
- graphical countdown by automatic shut down
- and finally you can power off the computer only with one mouse click!
If you want to try the quit applet plus, you can install it from a PPA repository or from a Tarball. See the wiki for more information or visit the QuitAppletPlus Launchpad site.
