Depending on the situation, I use either my speakers or my headset for audio output. Given that my headset is an USB headset it behaves as its own audio device.

Currently I switch between audio output devices by clicking on the speaker icon in the upper right tray, where I select Sound settings, goes to the Output tab and there choses the device I want.

What I wonder is if there might be some easier/quicker way to switch back and forth to my USB headset? Perhaps a dedicated tray icon, a key mapping, or so?

I am running Ubuntu 10.04, with the default Gnome desktop.

Of those identd daemons available in Ubuntu 10.04, can any of them be made to work with IPv6?

If so, a nudge in the right direction regarding how to configure the IPv6 support would be nice.

In the upper right panel there is by default a drop down menu where you can set your online status, interact with Ubuntu One, etc. It is placed right next to the drop down menu which lets you logout, reboot, shutdown etc.

For me personally I have no use for the online status menu, so I usually remove it. The problem is that it seems to belong to the same panel applet as the actually wanted logout menu, since that menu too disappears. I believe we are talking about the "Indicator Applet Session".

Is there some way I can hide or disable the online status menu, but still keep the neighboring logout menu?
