The timer always posed a bunch of issues. One of which was with the text in the dialog, which was in another bug. But, also with how the behavior of dialog should be.
Should the dialog make the whole OS modal? That seems a bit heavy handed, but the results of not clicking on it in time could be disastrous. So then maybe it should always stay on top, but not be universally modal? Well, how do we then convey that this dialog looks like every other dialog except one really big difference? Now, it's a normal dialog. It looks and behaves like every other dialog you see in the system. If you want to quickly close Firefox or send that last e-mail you can do that before clicking "Okay". No unsuspected effects. I don't think that this is perfect, but I don't think the other answers are either. I seriously doubt someone clicks on the menu and gets so far away from their computer that they don't notice that it's not shutting down for vacation. And yes, dino99 is correct there are bugs on the timers as well. Though, I'm not sure that should be a measure of whether something is usable or not -- we have bugs on lots of crazy things ;) -- Shutdown timer no longer appears https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
