Title:
Confirmation for logout-restart-shutdown is a loss of time for most
users
Status in Ayatana Ubuntu Love Project:
Invalid
Status in The Session Menu:
Confirmed
Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When the user clicks on "Logout", or "Restart" or "Shutdown", a window
pop-ups and requires the user to confirm his action.
I believe this window is useless, anti-productive (loss of time) for
most users. [Workaround : Alt-F2 enter "gconf-editor", Apps>indicator-
session, and tick suppress-logout-restart-shutdown]
The only reason that would make me keep it is Accessibility : some
people can't target very sharply with the mouse (but in this case we
should improve all other applets' accessibility...). For this reason,
we could add a "Don't show this window any more in the future" option
in the confirmation window, so that the user has the choice to remove
it or not.
If I remember well, in Karmic there was a 60s delay after which the
confirmation was automatically activated. I don't think this was a
good idea, for security matter, and also because Ubuntu boot is
(/should be) now faster than 60s.
Hope this helps making Ubuntu better.
