There has been some big changes to the "Session" Indicator in Ubuntu recently, so I thought I'd throw up a quick mock up of a more concise indicator. Nothing fancy or ground breaking, but I thought I'd share.

update:
* white menu style
* wider menu
* more apparent who's logged in and who's not
* grouped options that power off the device and ones that don't

May I suggest a "Suspend" option ? Some people haven't still realized where it is in Gnome 3 so it would be good thing to have it in eOS.

I really don't understand why there is a separate User Account menu to the power menu. Ubuntu 12.10 dealt with it and so should elementary!

Will you include "system settings"/switchboard in the session menu? It's really convenient to have it there in both Unity and GNOME-Shell

Or put switchboard on your dock.

GNOME3 seems to have a very similar style, only darker: [link]

I think it might be better to make the whole "Logged In/Not Logged In" thing transparent and just allow users to switch the active user, letting the system log users in if they're not already. The difference between "Logging out" and "Switching the user" is often somewhat confusing. In the unlikely event that the system runs out of resources, a system dialog could request that someone switches to their user and closes some apps. In the future, the system could even clear another users' apps from the memory if they've told the system they're where-you-left-off/auto-saving/etc.

That's a good point. I really like the idea of "who cares if you're already logged in or not"

Nice indicator menu. The most important think to me is. When I move my mouse cursor to items in that popover. Indicator menu should not switch accidencially to sound, battery, wlan menu. It is so annoing in ubuntu. The best solution would be: each time to click on that icon what menu you need.

But that was a problem with the old notification area. :(
