Review request for Plasma and KDE Usability.


Changes
-------

* Add option to display full username (default) or login name
* Add option to show only name (default), only face (is "avatar" correct term?), or both
* Hide TTY number and X display by default (can be enabled in settings)
* Applet tooltip shows user icon and "You are logged in as 'name'"
* Size label similar to digital clock

Vertical panel layout needs tweaking


Repository: kdeplasma-addons


Description
-------

It is prety common in other desktop environments to have something that allows switching between users and logout/shutdown quickly. It is inspired by the Fast User Switch plasmoid from kde-apps.org [1]

Testing
-------

When the applet opens, it updates. It grows a maximum of half the screen height, should there be more users currently logged in, the list can be scrolled. Switching users works, both with and without locking the screen, depending on user's settings. Opening new sessions, locking the screen and shutting down also work.

The applet doesn't have any settings, the label probably needs tweaking so its sizing policy is similar to the digital clock so the two look reasonable next to each other.
