I have install ubuntu & GNOME (say, with minimum possible number of packages). I can login and do anything as I want. However, there is a nasty thing: Whenever I loggin in, I see this message:

Error
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet"
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration
[Don't Delete] [Delete]

If I press [Delete] then the error won't be shown anymore. However, for every new created account, the message shown again (use created using sudo adduser user_name).

Since I clone this OS into several virtual instance, and create new account on these instances. I wonder if there is a way to configure my ubuntu so that new created user don't have to see this annoy message?

Thanks
