Bug Description
On some UNR upgrades, "indicator-session" applet isn't added to the panel which makes it really hard to shutdown.
Workaround:
Add indicator-session applet manually to the panel; follow these steps:
- right click on the Ubuntu logo on the top left ("go-home-applet"), unlock it from the panel
- right click in the same place and select Move and move it a bit to the right to make some free panel space
- right click on the free panel space you just created and chose "Add to panel"; search for
- search for "session" and add the "Indicator Applet Session" applet (NOT the "Log Out..." applet)
- move applets around on the panel as you prefer; usually the session indicator applet goes to the very far right and the go-home applet to the very left
Proposed release notes:
Ubuntu Netbook Remix missing a shutdown applet in the top panel after upgrade
--
On Ubuntu Netbook Remix, you might miss a shutdown applet on the top panel; as a workaround, add the "Indicator Applet Session" applet manually after moving the current applets around to free some space; this is all achieved by right-clicking the top panel. See Bug:461115 for detailed instructions.

We had reports from mdz and others on IRC that this happened for them, but this issue is hard to reproduce; I'm marking it as confirmed because we had two reports for it already.
My personal suspicion goes to usage of desktop-switcher in jaunty, then upgrading to karmic as a possible explanation of steps leading to this bug.
