in intrepid, the user account switcher panel applet is placed after the time. this looks quite ugly compared to how it was previously, plus the change is confusing to people who are used to the (far superior) old layout of the top panel. if this is intentional, there is no need for this change and i strongly dissaprove of it.
it also leaves too large of an area with just text and no icons, which also looks awkward. overall, its a major eyesore. it looks so much more natural with the time right next to the power button, and the user switcher to the left of the notification area.
also, the reason why i chose ubuntu out of all of the other distros was because it works out of the box, its the most popular, but even more of a reason than those two is because of the arrangement of the panel. ubuntu had the best panel arrangement i had ever seen out of all of the distrobutions, and now your killing it. what is wrong with you guys. this is really pissing me off to be frank. ubuntu has the best default panel arrangement out of all of the distros, and you %#$@ it up.
anyway, if this is intentional, put it back the way it was. there is no compelling need to change the default panel arrangement, and it was more than fine before. dont %#$@ with it. if you want, you might just remove the user switcher from the default arrangement all together, but i think it looked fine in gutsy and hardy. whatever, just put the default panel icons back the way they were meant to be in the final intrepid release
let me know about this situation, please reply
