    Disabling switch user completely?

    Hi all!

    I'm in the process of building a locked down desktop for my company based on 10.04.

    One of the features I've been working on disabling is switching users. I've disabled it in:

    Code:
    gconfg-editor = /desktop/gnome/lockdown
    But this only seems to disable it from the lock screen menu. If I click on system - log out on the menu it still gives me the option to switch users.

    Does anyone know how to disable it from there?

    I hope this will help you
    Code:
     gconf-editor = apps/indicator session
    Here you can remove log out.
