Bug Description
1. configure your environment to use 10 desktops (the number is not really important, but I use 10)
2. on each desktop, open some application windows (Eclipse, web browsers, terminal, android's abd logcat, mc, etc)
3. spend some time working; when you see a text that looks important, open a gedit window and copy the important text there.
4. select shutdown in Gnome
Actual: shutdown is blocked; you can cancel it but to review the unsaved documents you have to locate them yourself, looking through all your desktops and all your windows
Expected: shutdown is blocked, but you can review all unsaved documents without cancelling the shutdown; there's a "magic button" that causes the next unsaved document to appear on the _current_ desktop _on_top_ of other windows so that you can read it and decide what to do with it.
PS I hate such shutdowns, but some updates require it, and the software (including Eclipse) sometimes glitches, making me suspect a global resource leak.

Thank you for your bug report, I'm pretty sure it's a duplicate and a ticket has been opened years ago but I can't find it, some bug triager should look at that and close it as duplicate though
