Note that 'log in as new user' has never been in the log out dialogue
options. Why does it make sense there? You're not actually logging out,
you're just letting another user log in. :-)

The handwaving plan for this feature is to provide a 'log in as new
user' button on the screensaver lock dialogue. So you can lock your
screen, and someone else can log in. That'll require a GTK+/GNOME based
lock dialogue for xscreensaver, which hasn't been done yet due to the
raft of security issues that have to be addressed first. But when it
happens, all the GDM infrastructure is ready and waiting for it.
