Description
If sugar is being deployed in a computer lab rather than laptops, it would be useful to have a 'log out' option in addition to the restart and shutdown options in sugar.

I've created a patch that allows this - patch the file /usr/share/sugar/shell/view/home/favoritesview.py and logout is added as a menu option. There is no logout icon yet.

askvictor, thanks for the patch. I have applied a similar patch to the sugar Fedora 10 package. We had a more detailed discussion in http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8141
To get attention for patches, please use the guidelines here http://sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/CodeReview#Patch_submission and add a r? keyword.
Sayamindu said he would take care of this.

I've yet to fully understand what logout means in our context. Sugar isn't multi-user aware yet, so in general the logout option doesn't make sense. In what contexts does it make sense, and can we dynamically determine when it does and doesn't and only offer the action when it's applicable?

that makes sense for common GNU/Linux distribution - user wants to work in sugar environment and he could login to sugar from account manager (like gdm); later he could decide leave sugar and login to Gnome/Kde environment
I use similar patch in Gentoo/ALTLinux packages

OK, so while Sugar itself isn't multi-user capable, a user could "login" to a Sugar session and later leave that session via a "logout" option. Two follow up questions are:
- Can we, in software, determine when such an option is usable? (And if not, what does "logout" do when booting directly into Sugar, such as on an XO?)
- What does this mean if we later wish to introduce true multi-user support within Sugar itself? Do they conflict, or is this a non-issue?

I think the most suitable place is disto-level patches

Gnome/KDE are also true multi-user systems and there is logout option (and also 'switch user')
