That's definitely not the right solution for disabling user switching.

I believe the correct way is to edit
/etc/gconf/schemas/desktop_gnome_lockdown.schemas, changing the entry:

/schemas/desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching

...to be <default>true</default> for all users.

You should never have to monkey with things in /usr to set
configurations like this.
