If "default" means the first thing I see when I install the "fallback"
desktop, then the "default" configuration does not have a way to log
out.

Several minutes of googling tells me I can use gnome-session-quit in the
terminal. OK, I can memorize that... but I would not call this "easily
usable" and certainly not by non-skilled users.

I also tried to google for how to install indicator-applet, and found
that there are a dozen to choose from. I tried to find how to manually
add User Menu / Shutdown applets to the panel, and couldn't find it.

As a new Ubuntu user, I want a system that is easy to log out from, and
this is not that.

Title:
  Gnome-flashback: No (easy) way to log out

Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I just installed Ubuntu 14.10 and Cinnamon desktop. Cinnamon fails
  (another issue) and starts Gnome-flashback as a fallback desktop.

  The default Gnome has only Applications and Places menu and no way to
  log out or restart the computer.

  Workaround is to start a terminal and reboot the computer from it.
