            Bug ID: 359384
           Summary: Logout/leave dialog design disaster
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.5.4
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk

The new 'screen-wide' leave dialog is really a disaster from a usage
perspective.
Ok, i can agree with a new breeze of display-style. But: Why are the buttons
for choosing 'reboot/logout/poweroff' at the rightmost side of the screen?
In kde4, you could choose upfront (in a context menu on the desktop) what kind
of action you would like to perform.
Now, you select 'leave'. Then you are forced to move the mouse to the far right
screen edge, select som suspiciously small icons, then you need to return to
the middle of the screen and press/click the button to initiate the action (ok,
the last step could be sped up by pressing return)

Still, someone new to the system and using it 'mouse-only' has - especially
with big displays nowadays - has some lengthy distances to go before he can
logoff/reboot/powerdown.

Why not putting all clickable parts into the center of the screen?
This would be soooo much better...

Your opinions?

Reproducible: Always
