Bug: Not able to change server when switching user

[saloynton]

When choosing to switch user from the insight data manager (file > switch user) when presented with the login menu I have wanted to change the server.
When clicking on the spanner icon I am instead presented with the menu to change the connection speed and not the menu to change the server.
See screenshot attached. Testing on the OMERO 4.4.4 demo server in Germany.

Actually looking at it closely, This is a larger issue.
Offering the server option implies that the client and the server are compatible.

To Test:

• Connect to the server
• Go to the File>Switch User
• The dialog pops up, click on the little wrench to display the server dialog.
• Check that you can switch server.

Thanks for looking at this. I see what you mean with it raising larger questions with server compatibility is this something that could be recorded under a backlog of connecting to multiple servers?

Yes, currently you will only be allowed to switch to a matching server. You won't be able to, for example switch to a 4.2 server with a 4.4.x client

(In [2bcd5d140e4e22a4131401542f971bc59e747756/ome.git] on branch develop) Allow user to connect to another server (see #9884)

The client-server versions match is checked every time.
