** Summary changed: - shutdown button does not reapper even when FUSA applet removed + FUSA and multiple X11 displays interaction
** Description changed: - Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet + There is an "unexpected interaction" between FUSA behaviour of removing + shutdown buttons, and users having multiple X11 displays. Here it is my + use case: - Preamble: - I used to use FUSA in 8.10. Then, when upgrading to 9.04, shutdown button disappeared from "System" menu, so I decided to remove FUSA. The first time I removed FUSA from the panel, shutdown button correctly re-appeared in "System" menu. + I have two displays: 0.0 is the LCD, 0.1 is a CRT TV that I only use to + watch films (0.1 is always active, but I keep the CRT TV shut down most + of the time). Both of them used to have the FUSA applet when I was using + 8.10 (it was added by default, I didn't add them explicitly). - Problem: - Now, every time I login, neither the FUSA applet nor the shutdown button in "System" menu are present. (!!!) There is apparently no way to shutdown the system, or to logout. The only way I have to get shutdown button in "System" menu again, is to add and remove FUSA from the panel. After this, the "Systme" menu buttons are present again. + When upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 I discovered that the shutdown buttons + in System menu disappeared, because of FUSA. Since I didn't like this, I + decided to remove FUSA and got my buttons back in the System menu. I + only removed the FUSA applet from panel 0.0 (forgetting I had FUSA on + 0.1 too). The button re-appeared -- even if FUSA was present on display + 0.1, and I could logout. + + However, every time I login now, FUSA is not present on display 0.0, but + shutdown buttons in System menu are neither, because of the FUSA applet + in display 0.1. The result is that display 0.0 is in an inconsistent + state: no FUSA, no shutdown buttons. + + Of course, removing FUSA from display 0.1 (or adding/removing FUSA from + display 0.0) too solves the issue. Nevertheless, I deem this quite a + design error. + + I see two solutions to this problem: 1) FUSA should be "display independent" (or "system wide") as menus are; or + 2) meus should be display dependent (which I don't like) + + Anyway, the real problem I see, is that we are coupling menus and + applets, which is very counter intuitive. -- FUSA and multiple X11 displays interaction https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367311 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
