So if I understand correctly, the current method to switch users is to lock the 
current user and on the unlock screen, select the new user that you would like 
to log in as (the VT switching will happen automatically behind the scenes). 
That is fine, but a couple of things to consider:
1. This is different from the older method(s) including xfswitch plugin, 
xscreensaver "New Login" and the old GDM methods, and may not be intuitive to 
the user.
2. The presence of a  disabled "Switch Users" button (in addition to a "Lock 
Screen" button) on the whisker menu is confusing. 
Would it then be preferable to remove the "Switch Users" button and have an 
instructional piece on how to switch users, or enable the "Switch Users" button 
but have it set to just lock the screen? Or a third option that I'm not seeing?
