We need to disable the "Switch User" logout option in the GNOME panel  
for cluster machines.  I also think we should discourage it (via  
documentation) for pseudo-public debathena-workstation machines, such  
as departmental clusters, assuming it's easily disabled via a config  
file.

Ideally, it would also be nice if we could get a "Logout" button in  
the panel, instead of the "Quit" button.  I could see users shutting  
down workstations upon logout, whether accidentally or via a misguided  
attempt to save energy.
