Description Michael Monreal 2009-01-23 17:04:39 UTC 
Left-click on user switch applet: "Account Information"
Right-click on user switch applet: "Edit Personal Information"

There's no need to have the same thing available from two different menus. I would only include it in the left-click menu and leave the right click for actions related to the applet (remove, lock, about).

I would, however, use the term "Personal Information" (without the edit) because it is less technical and you cannot change the technical details (home directory and other user-management) there anyway. It's really only "Personal Information" :)

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
