Public bug reported: With the new gnome comes the 'system will shutdown in 60 seconds' nag dialog, which I'm sure is wonderful for laptop users who accidentally press the button, but it's annoying otherwise.
I have searched for a way to turn it off, or set the timeout to a much lower value. Something like 2-3 seconds would be bearable, but I can't find any option to do this. There's nothing in the gnome power manager, I can't find any mention of it in gconf either. I've looked through forums of other people asking for this, someone said they even looked through the source code of the shutdown dialog, but couldn't figure out how it works because it's just a widget-like thing (?) There should be a way to change the timeout value. At this point I don't care if it's a value hidden in a conf file somewhere without any user interface, I just want to bloody change it. ** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Gnome shutdown dialog timeout cannot be adjusted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398687 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
