           Summary: "Switch user" in classic menu should behave like it did
                    in KDE 3.5
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandriva RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: widget-kickoff
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: danxuliu gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

In KDE 3.5, "Switch user" menu entry was a nested menu that showed "Lock Current & Start New Session", "Start New Session", a separator and then all the sessions currently started (being them graphical or in a tty).

However, in KDE 4, the "Switch user" entry in the traditional menu is just an action item that behaves like "Lock Current & Start New Session" did in KDE 3.5 (that is, it shows an information dialog to start a new session or cancel the action).

I'd like "Switch user" in the traditional menu to behave like it did in KDE 3.5. It is very useful for shared computers in a family environment where some users aren't very experienced, so they can switch to their already open session with ease, or start a new session without locking the current one.
