Probably a standalone binary gnome-panel-logout is a workaround for gnome-session 2.22. For the long term, gnome-session 2.23 have resolved this issue. Shutdown and logout dialog are moved into gnome-session. gnome-panel and other applications can require this via gnome-session dbus interface. For new gnome-session, you can refer to below http://live.gnome.org/SessionManagement/NewGnomeSession D-Bus inteface "org.gnome.SessionManager" is already available on gnome-session trunk, On gnome-panel side, we only need a patch to call new interface instead of owning gnome-panel specific dialog. I just made a patch, hopefuly the patch can be push upstream in accordance with new gnome-session. More details, please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507391 Thanks, -Simon
