Thanks for the request. Rather than have two items, I think it would be better to modify WinSwitch to allow you to display the name and the icon at the same time (in a single item).
At the moment I am working full time on other projects and so there's not much time for WinSwitch, but the source code is available (see the downloads page) if you want to look into implementing this.

Wince,
That definitely would be acceptable. Unforunately, I am no programmer, so the issue must be left to another. I would like to know if anyone else reading this would be interested in implementing this feature.

I'm marking all WinSwitch issues closed seeing as I personally no longer use it, and in fact haven't for around 4 years now.
WinSwitch addressed a real problem with the initial implementation of Fast User Switching in Panther (released October 2003), namely, the excessive screen real estate that it chewed up. Apple fixed that problem in Tiger, if I recall correctly, which came out in April 2005 (or if I'm wrong about it being Tiger, then it was definitely fixed by the time Leopard came out, in October 2007).
With this change, most of the justification for WinSwitch's existence went away, at least for me. So that's why I'm going to close all these tickets: I can't really support something that I don't use myself.
But it's open source, so if any one wants to tackle any of these issues and submit patches, I'll be happy to accept them.
