If you would be using Ubuntu Oneiric instead of worrying about it,
you'd see that the user menu is still there. indicator-me is gone but
next to the session menu is a menu headlined by the current logged in
nickname. You can click this menu to switch to a new user or configure
the new Online Accounts feature. Several of the menus including this
one are not yet final designs.
