Hi Brother,

Thank you for your response!

Ah! I didn't know that.  It makes clear that the problem is not
here but elsewhere.

This is what actually happened:

1)  A long time ago (June or July last year?),
  after I dist-upgraded my system, I lost the screen-lock icon
  from the application launch bar (near the lower-left corner).

2) So, I tried to manually add it, but couldn't find it in the menu.
   So, I filed the bug report (because I thought that's how one should
   add the screen-lock icon).

Since then, I don't remember seeing the screen-lock icon on the launch
bar.  I have two Debian-testing machines.

3) Yesterday, before writing my previous message, I looked at
   the lower-left corner and still did not find the screen-lock icon.
   I couldn't add it from the menu, either.  So, I wrote the message.

But, believe it or not, this morning I saw the screen-lock
icon together with the logout switch on the launch bar
on one of my machines!

Had I been hallucinating when I thought I didn't see
the screen-lock icon?   No.  On the other machine of mine,
which I'm using now, I still don't see the screen-lock icon
or the logout switch.

This story indicates that there is a bug somewhere else.
As you say, the screen-lock icon is added to the application
launchbar as default, right?

Regards,
Ryo
