Doing that would either require to change the upstream dialog to list
all the option or to add a new dialog similar to the current upstream
ones which list those. Changing the dialog would create a delta over
upstream we will need to maintain, makes the two system menu entries
irrevelant and makes some user unhappy who like the upstream way better
(we had a gconf key in hardy to use the upstream dialog). Creating a
similar dialog which lists all the option bring back to the
configuration migration issue since that would be a new object and that
requires to update the user configuration on upgrade, the change would
be easier though since we would just have to change the object naming
and not the layout for example. Users who don't have an user switching
applet would probably expect this action to be in the dialog too though
