Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33002 Comment: Rune, this might be of interest to you: with gconf-editor, /apps/gnome-power-manager/action_button_power specifies what action to take with powerbutton. I don't really think a dialog would be very useful to configure that. The default behaviour (to show the dialog) is, however, a bit weird; It requires me to turn on my monitor and grab my mouse, in which case I can just as well click the logout option on screen. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33002 Comment: Actually it seems to go a bit far to make a preferences-dialog for the shutdown window, but on the other hand: There are such a lot of options, it might be nice. It is, however, pretty late in the release cycle... I have, unfortunately, still never not seen the upstream gnome 2.14 dialog.

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33002 Comment: I'd like to be able to remove the options that my machine doesn't support. There should be a gnome-power-preferences that: 1) Specify buttons on the logout dialogue. There reboot could be ticked off by default but those that need to dualbot, use reboot regularly. Maybe a function could probe whether hibernate and/or sleep is available. 2) Allow what powerbutton does. I want my powerbutton to turn off, with the nice usplash screen. Power button: [ Log out dialogue ] (default) [ Power off ] (with timer) [ Sleep ] [Hibernate ] [ Log out ] [ Custom command ] (halt rhytmbox whatever) 3) Tooltips with ALL buttons, to tell people what suspend, hibernate, log out, sleep, etc means. Eg: "Hibernate saves your current session and powers off the computer, when you turn it on again it will be just as when you pushed hibernate (right click for more help on this subject)" "Sleep saves your current session and put the computer in low power mode. When you hit a key or the powerbutton the session will be just as is was when you pushed the sleep button." -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33002 Comment: Time for a comment from the real life. I (also) use my ubuntu as a music player. When I go to school each morning I have to turn of my machine before I put on my shoes, since I have dirty shoes that I don't want all over my apartment. That means I can't listen to music when putting on shoes. The upstream log out dialog has a timer that meant my machine would turn of 60 seconds after I opened the dialog. This meant I could open the dialog, go put on my shoes and go to school. This meant that I could listen to music while putting on my shoes. I know this comment is a bit stupid, but the timer in the log out dialog brought music to my life in a way I hadn't imagined before, and now I really miss it. Details matter. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33002 Comment: > I actually meant to make two seperate dialogs Oops, I misread your post indeed, sorry. Indeed would be very nice to split the two halves of the dialog, and put a separate entry for each of them, at the bottom of the "System" menu. This way people could go straight at what they are after, and each dialog would be manageable, with only 3 options. Also, if we make only one dialog, we would have to do some more home work to figure out a term that would stand for both "end" session, and "pause" session. If we split the dialog, it's straighforward, the menu entries can just be called "Pause session" and "End Session", simple and efficient. So I think I would tend two prefer two clearly focused dialogs, with a direct access from the menu, rather than a single huge dialog that does everything. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33002 Comment: I like this last mockup very much, as well as the group names ("end session" rather than "log out"), they make sense, so useability-wise they are very good in my view, as a simple user. UI wise, just need to make buttons look like buttons, and use icons that blend with the default Gnome icon set, for consistency. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33002 Comment: I find the dialog confusing, but what exactly is the problem? For clarity I try to formulate 3 issues: 1) The "System/log out" thing currently offers six options (the menu we're discussing). Three of those options don't have anything to do with logging out. 2) There are six entries in total, which is a *lot* 3) The six entries have text and icons mixed, which is hard to read through. You either want to read the icons, or the text, not both. So all options horizontally aligned with text underneath would do (like win-xp does: http://www.edbott.com/weblog/images/shutdown.jpg ), or align them vertically and put the text at the right of each icon. Now that I realize there already *are* two entries in the System-menu for related actions: "lock screen" and "log out", my previous suggestion tries to fix all these 3 problems without an extra entry in the menu, really: Lock screen is just replaced by "Pause session"; Pause session - lock screen - hibernate - sleep Log out - log out - shutdown - restart I omitted switch user here, see also https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives /ubuntu-devel/2006-February/016036.html , but maybe we want it in anyway. I also assumed one extra click through the menu's for locking won't hurt. (I don't want to brute-force my opinion through repetition, but I hope this makes my idea more clear) -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
