Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet
Hi:
I had recently discovered a problem where FUSA (which I love by the way)
was missing the entries mentioned in the summary. I eventually
discovered the reason it was missing those entries was because gnome-
power-manager was not running (I had disabled it from starting up via
Sessions). To reproduce this problem, take the following steps:
1) Remove FUSA from your panel
2) Kill gnome-power-manager
3) Add FUSA back to your panel
At this point, you should only see three entries: "Guest session", "Lock
screen" and "Log out". I can understand why "Hibernate" and "Suspend"
would be missing because the power manager is not running, but its a bug
to also remove "Shut-down" and "Restart".
In my humble opinion, FUSA entries should never be removed. For
example, if the user clicks on "Hibernate" - and it requires gnome-
power-manager which is not running - then either:
1) the power manager should silently start in the background, and then the
computer should go into hibernation
OR
2) a dialog box should pop up giving the user the chance to start the power
manager, and then have the computer go into hibernation
I think silently disappearing entries can confuse users, as it did me.
Cheers,
