Comment: If I had concise ideas on replacements, I'd have given them straight off. :-) Does KDE use icons for this stuff, and if so, what do their icons look like? So far as distinguishing sleep and hibernate... I as a user (and a very technically advanced one at that) really have no freakin' clue what the difference is between the two, so it's hard to say. I really don't think there *should* be icons for both, as I said in the original report; most users don't know the difference and both of them should probably be hardware initiated (closing the laptop lid) versus a menu. If I had to go to some menu to put my iBook to sleep I'd never even bother doing it. What exactly is the use case for having sleep/hibernate in the logout dialog? Is there some class of users that actually needs this? Is it necessary only because some other part of the system (gnome-power- manager, for example) isn't doing its job right? Looking right now I see there are new dialogs in place after today's apt-get upgrade. Are these your new replacements? I like them. I do have two comments on them: First, I don't think dialog titles are supposed to be questions, according to the HIG. I can't really think of a good title for either dialog, though... maybe asking for suggestions on the GNOME lists (as these look like good inclusions for being upstreamed) would help. Second, these dialogs are confirmation alerts. All alert dialogs are supposed to be modal in relation to their application. In the case of session management dialogs, the "application" is the whole desktop. The real problem being that they don't have window titles and don't appear in the window list, but they can under up behind/under other application windows, making them impossible to find without closing/hiding other application windows. I don't know if modal is correct, but at least ensuring that they stay on top of all other windows would be a good improvement. Thanks for being awesome and working on this stuff, Manu! -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
