When I started writing the patch for the FUSA, I expected that gnome-session exported an interface for restarting and shutting down directly (without calling the dialog), as it is already possible to do this for log out (calling org.gnome.SessionManager.Logout). I was surprised when I realised that it didn't actually support this, which is why I settled for sending a message to ConsoleKit directly and implementing PolicyKit support in the FUSA. I think that patching gnome-session to extend the Shutdown() method (or adding a new method) is probably a good way to go. This means that other applications (such as update-notifier's reboot dialog) could hook in to it as well, without having to worry about PolicyKit support. The patch probably wouldn't be too intrusive either. If I have a bit of spare time over the weekend, I'll work on a patch just to see how feasible it could be to implement. Regards Chris
