Public bug reported: Selecting one of these options from the indicator-session menu: Log Out... Restart... Shut Down... gives you a dialog. However it is a modeless dialog so can easily get lost behind other windows. And they can't be found in the Unity Launcher either, because they're only dialogs.
The fix: These dialog windows should be made modal. Further notes: The offending binary is: /usr/lib/indicator-session/gtk-logout-helper when run with either -l, -r or -s. Notice however that the package gnome-session-bin provides alternative dialogs which are correctly displayed as modal: gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog gnome-session-save --logout-dialog ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: indicator-session 0.2.17-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Jul 8 13:52:35 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_AU:en LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: indicator-session UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: indicator-session Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: indicator-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug natty running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/807357 Title: Log Out / Restart / Shut Down dialogs can get lost behind other windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/807357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
