FUSe

For me, one of Panther's most important new features is Fast User Switching, but Apple's implementation is goofy. Wasting all that menubar space on the user's name is just poor design, in my opinion. Fortunately, Martin Pittenauer, one of the folks behind SubEthaEdit (the editor formerly known as Hydra), has released a slick menu extra called FUSe that displays an icon, as I'd expected the default to behave.

Note that FUSe requires MenuCracker, but you may already have it if you have other menulets installed, such as Spy or iAddressX, both of which I also recommend.
