Adding "User Switcher" applet should not cause the menu options such as "Log Out", "Shut Down" to disappear automatically. Those options should appear under "System" by default on a fresh installation and the user should be provided with an option to hide those under the "System" menu.

Why does Pidgin now meddle in system functions? Having an own icon for it that reflects Pidgin's state and flashed on new messages was perfectly fine. As it is now, important functions are abstrused.

Put options under the 'User Switcher' applet's preferences, that would allow the user to configure the user applet to their particular needs.

For instance:
1. Add a check-box to enable/disable the 'User witcher' applet's ability to integrate with pidgin (enable by default).

2. Add a check-box to enable/disable the display of the 'current user' and/or the 'users icon' next to the applet (enable by default).

3. Add a check-box to enable/disable activating the gdm 'Guest Session' (enabled by default)

4. Add check-boxes to show/not show the logout, lock screen etc.. under the 'System' menu (all disabled by default)


That way, any user that cares enough can change the settings to their liking, otherwise, the default options would yield the same behavior as it exhibits now.

How about it? Keep choice in the hands of the users?

The dictionary should automatically lookup the text that is dropped on it, without hitting Enter.

This will allow the user to operate without having to leave the mouse for an extra keystroke, preventing unnecessary movement.

In dictionary applet, extra spaces at beginning or end of a search term cause the lookup to fail. Dictionary applet should trim the text automatically, duh!

Make the dictionary search for the word letter by letter as you type and give a list of the words that begin with those letters.
This is great for a lazy person (like myself) who wants to type as little as possible. It can also save time and makes the program more user friendly.

Add a button that deletes the word in the search box so another word can be entered.
