After writing the previous comment I realised we can just have the behaviour change in the greeter and not in the session if we want.
I think it is better with this solution though because: - The dialog is more consistent between session and greeter - The current PolicyKit dialog is bad because cancelling it closes your session - i.e. accidentally bumping the power button puts you in a situation where you session will close regardless of what you do. - Shutting down without closing a session is a very destructive operation - it is better to encourage the user to close each session manually [*] to avoid data loss. Knowledgeable sysadmins can do a forced shutdown by other methods and inexperienced users probably know how to power cycle. mpt/design, can you comment on the above? I propose we use this solution in raring and just push the greeter behaviour into SRUs for 12.04, 12.10. [*] We should probably make it possible to unlock sessions in the greeter with an administrator password so this is easily possible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861171 Title: Shutdown from greeter does nothing when multiple accounts open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/861171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
