I think this will be a CLASSIC wrong decision. It reminds me on the decision of GNOME to choose spatial browsing for nautilus some years ago.
Thing is: Every big change in usability does mean people will have to relearn stuff. So this should only be done if you have very good reasons. Mostly this is the case if some stuff REALLY sucks. the current design decision means that I can not use the FUSA any more. Why? Because I am used to shutdown via system menu and do not plan to change. Also if I add the FUSA also all administration settings are gone and I still dont know where they are now. So to make my points: a) People dont like changes, unless they really make things only better b) the design decisions renders the FUSA unusable for some people like me, although I really loved it until recently c) Some settings are on new locations which can not be find easily d) Additionally I think the FUSA is now overloaded and also confusing. I now read in german (and retranslated into english "Logged off" and "Logg off". I think that this feature went through indicates that the community process in Ubuntu has serious flaws, as some major concerns were not heard. This decision alone may justify for some a switch away from Ubuntu. What I see is arrogance. Not that Ubuntu is the only project that has developed such arrogance, but I like to point that out in the hope that those things will not happen again. the major problem I guess is that the way you did incorporate the new feature is that adding an applet changes the system menu. That sounds very elegant but is in fact not very logical. The clean way would have been to introduce a forked FUSA as an option and to collect user feedback. Personally I too still habve the window chooser on the far right which I could not live without. But some other guys already decided before you that I dont need that. -- Adding Fast User Switcher applet causes shut down options to disappear from System menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
