Description

I would like a "Log Out [User]..." in the WinSwitch menu below "Login Window..."!

The same as can be found under the Apple-menu.

The menu item should of course have the same keyboard shortcuts as the Apple-menu variant.

Reason: I find it takes some extra brain cycles every time I want to log out because most of the times I switch user the current one stays logged in. When I really want current user logged out, 9 times out of then i click WinSwitch first.

Reason behind this reason: I newer run daily operations from the Admin-account. I go to Admin for certain tasks, system maintenance and for program installation. Other times i switch between different user accounts to do some minor task. Most of the switches, "my" main user stays logged in, but once in a while the switch requires a complete logout.

On the subject of consistent user interface: The muscle/spatial memory is set to operate one way in a certain situation, to have two or more options requires extra thinking. Also: The object-verb syntax is Menu Item->Action, to have two different menus doing almost the same thing confuses.

Optional solution: Get Apple to add "Login Window..." and User List to Apple-menu. Very likely, not;-)
