[Bug 835499] [NEW] Warnings for turn-off dialogs when windows remain

2011-08-27 Thread James Haigh
Public bug reported: To avoid the issue of forgetting about a minimised window on another workspace, there should be warnings when you try to turn off the computer while windows are still open. Instead of 'The system will automatically shutdown after 60 seconds...', the timer should be disabled

This is not Unity specific. I've seen this bug in older releases of Ubuntu with Compiz enabled. It would often happen (and still does happen) in Firefox when many windows and tabs are open. I notice that clicking on an empty part of the Unity Panel makes the window jump into place. Alt+Click -ing

2011-08-15 Thread James Haigh
The keyboard layout selected in GDM is passed to the Gnome session but changing the setting in Gnome does not feed back to GDM. So it's one-way for keyboard layout preferences between Gnome and GDM. Yes there is a work-around, but that doesn't make it any less annoying for users who have not notic

This was one of the first bugs I noticed when I started using Ubuntu back in Gutsi about 3½ years ago. I've finally got round to reporting it but it should be low priority because it doesn't make Ubuntu difficult to use (just a little glitchy), and it can't be bothering people too much as it seems

Thanks for the workaround Marius. I can now test Compiz plugins in the Guest account. BTW, it was never necessary to restart, re-logging in did the trick. I also find that the 'Applications' and 'Files & Folders' launcher items disappear. Super+A and Super+F also fail to bring up Dash. However, t
