No menu option to "switch user" in Cinnamon desktop

  • 772

The menu has options to lock the screen, log out and shutdown, but there isn't an option that allows me to switch to a different user. Is there another way to do that or, even better, is there a way to add that option to the global menu? I am using Ubuntu 11.10.

    One suggestion is to create either a favourite shortcut in the main menu or a panel shortcut.

    To do this, use alacarte to create a shortcut to the command gdmflexiserver

    enter image description here

    Logout and login

    Then search for your shortcut:

    Right-click the menu item and choose one of the options as shown.
