On RHEL 5.5 in Gnome, how can one enable the Switch User button in the Lock Screen dialog box? Ubuntu has this feature. I followed a set of instructions for CentOS 5 which didn't work. Any ideas?

Found these lines somewhere as part of someone's custom GDM script. Works for me.

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
    --type bool --set "/desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching" "false"
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
    --type bool --set "/apps/gnome-screensaver/user_switch_enabled" "true"
