I was going to set it to 0 seconds, actually. There's just no reason for me to have the confirmation box at all.
I'm used to hitting shutdown and then walking away from the computer and let it do its thing. It's also annoying on my laptops because I hit shutdown and then close the lid before the dialog appears, because it takes a couple seconds to show up. And sometimes it goes into suspend instead because it hasn't started the shutdown process when the lid closes. Most frustrating of all, however, is that I have problems with some ubuntu virtual machines running in Virtualbox that sometimes seize up and refuse to accept keyboard or mouse inputs. I can still send it the shutdown signal through Virtualbox' interface, but then I have to sit and stare at the dialog counting down for a whole minute before the VM can be restarted. Basically I want it gone/customizable for the same reason I set my GRUB countdown to 1 second as well; in 99.99% of cases I want the default behavior without being nagged. -- Gnome shutdown dialog timeout cannot be adjusted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
