Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet

Previously the applet's menu included a list of users.

Now there is no such list, and switching to a logged-in user requires
choosing "New Session..." and then choosing from the list of users in
the gdm menu.

For a "family" desktop shared between a small number of users, the old
behavior was convenient--with recent X, it made the switch between users
practically instantaneous.  It was also more intuitive--it's not
completely obvious that "New Session..." is the right menu item to
choose to switch to a different logged-in user.

This is on Karmic, with fast-user-switch-applet version
2.24.0-0ubuntu13.
