You need to reboot the system to see it. Does that work for you?

Comment 2 Vadym Krevs 2025-01-18 10:09:05 UTC

Yes, rebooting does make it appear.

Comment 3 Vadym Krevs 2025-01-18 10:16:31 UTC

Weirdly enough, enabling session restore "When session was manually saved" and restarting, appears to break the "Log Out" functionality. Basically, click on "Log Out" and nothing happens. Switching session restore to "Last logout" and restarting makes "Log Out" work again ...
