Package: needrestart Version: 3.0-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
the new GTK-3 frontend to needrestart has two buttons: <BACK> and <NEXT>. Pressing <NEXT> results in a restart of the services checked in the main window -- as expected. I assumed that with the other button I could quit the dialogue without restarting anything. However, hitting <BACK> gives me this message in the terminal: *** (frontend:20760): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_assistant_previous_page: assertion 'page_node != NULL' failed *** The program continues to work, so this error is just a nuisance. However, With this error, the button is useless and should be removed or replaced. What do you think about the following suggestion? After updating packages like libc6, needrestart finds lots of services that need a restart. There are occasions where restarting them should be delayed -- just think of a download running in the background that would be interrupted for good if network-related services were stopped. In such cases it could be quite a tiresome task to manually deselect all listed services and press <NEXT>. It would be much easier to have a <CANCEL> button that quits the program without restarting anything. Another idea would be to provide a checkbox on top (and possibly an identical one at the bottom) of the list that turns the checkboxes of all listed services on/off. This would provide an easy way to activate a restart of all services, if needed. It might be dangerous, though, because it could lead to inadvertently killing the whole X-session if, say, dbus was restarted. Thank you for your consideration!
