Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
The shutdown button on Karmic's gdm is located in the lower right
corner. It is close to the screen corner, which is much easier to reach
with the mouse, but cannot be clicked by moving the mouse to the corner
because of some padding. Since the button is safe (it only opens a
menu), there's no reason not to allow this.
Steps to reproduce:
On the login screen, move your mouse down and right. It should stop at the
corner pixel. Click the mouse. Nothing happens.
Expected result: The shutdown menu opens.
Fixing this is trivial:
22_shutdown_menu.patch adds a 6px padding around the button in this line:
gtk_box_pack_end (GTK_BOX (panel->priv->hbox), GTK_WIDGET
(shutdown_menu), FALSE, FALSE, 6);
This should be changed to 0.
The HumanLogin theme should have no menu shadow:
GtkMenuBar::shadow-type = GTK_SHADOW_NONE
