gdm conflicts with fast-user-switch-applet [SOLVED]

As the title indicates, pacman won't upgrade gdm unless I remove fast-user-switch-applet.
Is the latter supposed to be removed for the new GNOME version?

Removing seems to be safe:

edit: upgrade went through without a hitch

My last major upgrade last weekend ask me this and I answered yes. However, on the reboot gdm did not appear instead a very different login screen appeared and my keyboard did not work. So I uninstalled gdm and my system is now unusable. Has anyone have the same problem? Please help or direct to a solution. Thanks a lot.

Hi. i have a problem. First i removed fast-user-switch-applet with pacman -Rd fast-user-switch-applet and then i did pacman -Syu. My keyboard works fine but i had accesible login enabled. now i can't remove accesible login because this option does not exist no more. how can i remove the accesible login?

next time pacman -Syu and answer yes to replace a package.
