Public bug reported:
1. configure your environment to use 10 desktops (the number is not really important, but I use 10) 2. on each desktop, open some application windows (Eclipse, web browsers, terminal, android's abd logcat, mc, etc) 3. spend some time working; when you see a text that looks important, open a gedit window and copy the important text there. 4. select shutdown in Gnome Actual: shutdown is blocked; you can cancel it but to review the unsaved documents you have to locate them yourself, looking through all your desktops and all your windows Expected: shutdown is blocked, but you can review all unsaved documents without cancelling the shutdown; there's a "magic button" that causes the next unsaved document to appear on the _current_ desktop _on_top_ of other windows so that you can read it and decide what to do with it. PS I hate such shutdowns, but some updates require it, and the software (including Eclipse) sometimes glitches, making me suspect a global resource leak.
