Package: gnome-session-bin Version: 2.30.2-3 Severity: normal I have openoffice 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze4 installed.
if i open a document and type a character without saving it, and then run: gnome-session-save --force-logout i would expect that document to be lost (maybe autosave-recovered next time i log in). gnome-session-save(1) says: If called with the --logout option, the current GNOME session will be ended, unless logging out has been inhibited by an application. The --force-logout option can be used to end the session regardless of the inhibition state. instead of being logged out, i get a dialog box that says: -------------- A program is still running: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice Not responding Waiting for program to finish Interrupting program may cause you to lose work [Lock Screen] [Cancel] [Logout Anyway] -------------- This seems to be in contradiction to the description in the manual page, which say it should just go ahead and end the session. It is particularly problematic when invoked from gnome-screensaver's "log out" button, as per https://live.gnome.org/GnomeScreensaver/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Can_I_have_a_logout_button_on_the_screensaver_unlock_dialog.3F because it means that the "log out" button from the gnome-screensaver dialog actually has no effect. Is there some clean way to actually end the session regardless of an application that wants to inhibit it? --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-bpo.2-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-session-bin depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.2.24-4+squeeze1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii gconf2 2.28.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-4+squeeze1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.88-2.1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.6-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libupower-glib1 0.9.5-5 abstraction for power management - ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.6-1 X11 authorisation library ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxtst6 2:1.1.0-3 X11 Testing -- Record extension li ii upower 0.9.5-5 abstraction for power management gnome-session-bin recommends no packages. gnome-session-bin suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
