So put the selector in the menu.

I don't like this idea at all. It seems terribly convoluted and
complex and certainly doesn't simplify anything... it makes things
more complex. I need to be able to open SL and log in as Argent
Stonecutter or Argent David or Argent Silversten without logging in
with no password, then logging out again. I'd much rather change
nothing. After all, when I'm testing permissions or multi-user objects
I'm building I need to log in as two of me at once, not log out and
log in as someone else.
