Public bug reported: In the Dapper Gnome desktop, choose System / Quit. A dialog appears. Its lower row offers "Shut down", "Restart", "Hibernate".
There does not appear to be any way to remove these buttons. What I tried: in gconf-editor, as root, navigated to /apps/gnome-power- manager/can_hibernate and unchecked it. What that did: the dialog no longer offers "Shut down" and "Restart". "Hibernate" still appears. If the user chooses Hibernate, the computer shuts down. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Any user can shut down https://launchpad.net/bugs/81700 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
