be</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">done by using the "Log Out
user" option </FONT><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">in the top panel menu
"System", which brings up the "Switch user or</FONT></DIV>

to</FONT></DIV>

the "Reboot the entire computer" requester, instead of the "Switch user or Log
Out"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">requester. One can not change the
function name of this entry as supplied (it is somewhat built-in)

<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">and add a </FONT><FONT size=3

<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">Questions: 1) Where are the
