documentation Section 3.2 – Locking Your Screen

Hi Ian,

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. I will create a patch which should fix these problems.
Since Fast Switch User applet is installed by default in Jaunty, the instruction should describe it instead of locking sreen via System menu. On the other hand this option will be activated when switch user applet has been removed from panel, so I suggest to mention about it. Maybe instead of note about Lock screen applet, although in my opinion user should be informed about such option as well.

Artur

Many thanks for your quick response.

I look forward to the next release and will follow up on this later.

Ian

I've replaced locking screen menu based instruction to the User Switcher. I've also decided to leave note about Lock Screen applet unchanged, becuase in my opinion this is a hint for user rather than instruction.
Ian, do you agree with above?

Artur

That is fine by me. My remark was only made as it was a duplication of effort. I suppose that there might be someone who wants it as a stand alone item.
