Here's another scenario: A laptop is shared by multiple members of a household. User A is the admin, User B is not.
User B steps up to laptop with the intention of shutting it down to leave with it. User A is currently logged in. We have two choices here: 1- Present a warning dialog to User B saying that shutting down the laptop may cause User A to lose unsaved data in open applications, but allow him to shut the laptop down anyway. 2- Present an error message saying an admin is required to shut the machine down, at which point User B simply turns the machine off with the power button, and causes disk corruption. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in 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 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
