I don't think it makes sense to have two entries there in the first place, but if you are opposed to removing them, I don't think it's a problem. > > No more so than they already are (due to the logout applet and f-u-s-a), > > or were in previous versions of Ubuntu (due to the unified logout > > dialog). > > the ubuntu changes were on the gnome-session dialog that GNOME doesn't > use and there was a gconf key which allowed users to use the gnome-panel > upstream dialogs instead If that's a concern, we could make the patch 10 lines longer and still check the same gconf key.
