The top right on/off button

Hmmm, as you say most electrical appliances use that symbol on their on/off 
button so i think we should call it that.  The session manager stuff are just 
variants on the on/off idea.  People switch off one user and switch on the 
other.  Ok, that is a bit of a stretch but i think it's more intuitive just to 
give it a generic name that non-computer users will recognise.


Many regards from
Tom :)

Probably a good question. :-/

It's not the power/battery indicator; we are talking about the icon with
the symbol (circel and vertical bar) that usually stands for switching
on or off something.

Considering which items the menu currently show, I suppose that the icon
should better be replaced.
