Title:
  Indicator applet switch-user list includes "locked" users

Status in Indicator Applet:
  Triaged
Status in “indicator-applet” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.04

  When I click on my name in the indicator applet, the first option is
  "switch user account", followed by a list of users.  However, if a
  user is locked ("passwd -l ..."), the user still shows up;  with six
  unlocked users and six locked users,  the list is to long to fit on
  the screen.

  More generally,  there ought to be a way (configuration file?) to
  exclude certain users from that list,  even without locking their
  accounts.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemMenu#accounts>: "Next should be a
  “Guest Session” item (if the system allows it), and radio items for up
  to 12 of the user accounts that can log in ... Test case: Create a new
  user account. Open the system menu; the new account should be present.
  Lock the account using “sudo passwd -l”, and open the menu again; the
  account should be absent. Unlock the account using “sudo password -u”,
  and open the menu again; the account should be present once more."
