Installing CentOS 6 on a lab full of workstations, and I want to disable fast user switching. With CentOS 5, I simply made sure that the "user_switch_enabled" entry in /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-screensaver.schemas was set to false. However, that doesn't work with CentOS 6. I've found various proposed solutions to this issue, such as gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \ --type bool --set "/apps/gnome-screensaver/user_switch_enabled" "false" gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \ --type bool --set "/desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching" "true" neither of which work, either. Does anyone know the proper way to disable user switching with CentOS 6?

We've applied the patch available from <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598255> to the gnome-session SRPM - which works for us (with the above gconf settings) James Pearson
