I have exactly the same problem.
A bug has been opened on Gnome's bugzilla :
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485158
Comment by Riri (chicha) - Wednesday, 24 October 2007, 14:59 GMT
It seems this problem is Archlinux related as all the bugs reported here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485158 (+ the duplicates) are Archlinux users related !
Comment by Riri (chicha) - Sunday, 25 November 2007, 18:39 GMT
Hello,

I have to apologize : this is not a specific Archlinux bug but an upstream bug (as most of the time ;-) )
After a quick look at Fedora's package I found that this bug has already been investigated and patches where given from Fedora to Gnome.
For a reason I do not know those patches (and others very interesting) have not been applied uptream !

Please find attached the 2 patches which changed my life !
Also notice that startx.patch must be applied before fast-user-switch-applet-2.17.4-socket-check.patch.

If you want to know more about this, have a look at my comments on Gnome's bugzilla : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485158#c11
If you want more interesting patches related to fast-user-switch-applet have a look to Fedora's package : http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SRPMS/fast-user-switch-applet-2.20.0-1.fc8.src.rpm

I hope it helped !
Cheers,

Chicha
