** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: gnome-panel
+ This bug covers two issues: documentation of a changed feature, and the
+ change itself.
+ 
+ SUMMARY: No way to control logout confirmation or delays!
+ 
+ Documentation still claims that this is possible:
  
  The "Sessions Preferences" dialog is missing from the
  System->Preferences menu.
  
  NOTE: The Sessions Preferences dialog is documented under System->Help and 
Support.   I can't tell you how to directly bring up that documentation (the 
Search feature produces generally unhelpful results...)
  But the following sequence finds the documentation on my system:
-   System->Help and Support
-   Click "Customizing Your Computer" in the Topics column on the left.
-   Click "4. Customising other aspects of the desktop"
-   Click "Configuring Your Desktop" in topic list on the right
-   Click "8.5.2 Sessions Preferences"
-   Control-F and search for "confirmation dialog" on the page
+   System->Help and Support
+   Click "Customizing Your Computer" in the Topics column on the left.
+   Click "4. Customising other aspects of the desktop"
+   Click "Configuring Your Desktop" in topic list on the right
+   Click "8.5.2 Sessions Preferences"
+   Control-F and search for "confirmation dialog" on the page
  
  There is no "Sessions" dialog under System->Preferences.
  There is a preferences dialog called "Startup Applications" but it does not 
contain
  the "Session Options" listed in table 8-17 except for "Automatically save 
changes".
  
  Note: In ubuntu 9.04 you could disable logout confirmation (and the time
  delay) in a Preferenced panel reached by right-clicking the
  logout/reboot thingie on the right end of the panel.  But in 9.10 there
  is no Preferences offered there.
