What if you call the corresponding lightdm_get_can_ function once the user has clicked on the menu item? If the answer is yes, then do the requested action. Otherwise there are 2 possibilities: 1. Display a dialog box saying that the action is not possible. 2. Display a dialog box saying that the action may fail, and do the requested action. If the lightdm_get_can_* functions can be trusted at this time, then (1) is the best solution. Otherwise (i.e. lightdm_get_can_* don't say "yes" though the actions can really be carried out), choose (2). There you have feedback. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
