Public bug reported: Ubuntu has no complete specification for the appearance and behavior of startup, login, locking, unlocking, suspending, hibernating, resuming, restarting, and shutting down.
Without a specification, any request for a design change is unlikely to take into account consistency with, or constraints imposed by, the rest of the session system. For example: - How should you be discouraged from, or warned about, losing data when logging out of a guest session? - What should "Restart" or "Shut Down" do if other user accounts are logged in? (bug 855556) - What should happen if you try to choose "Restart" while the "Log Out" dialog is open? - How should the lock screen command and option be presented for a user account that logs in automatically? This bug will be fixed when the desired behavior for all UI-related bug reports in <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session> is either obvious, or specified in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SessionHandling>. ** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => precise-alpha-1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882296 Title: No complete specification for how Ubuntu sessions are supposed to work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/882296/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
