[lucid] Closing the installer from the window manager button, closes main window immediately

[Ioannis Ramfos]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

This was tested on Lucid beta1.
When using the "Quit" button from the installer, the confirmation dialogue appears with the "Cancel" and "Quit" options. The main installer window remains behind the confirmation dialogue. When cancelling, the installer remains active.

However, when using the window manager quit button, the main installer window closes immediately and only the confirmation dialogue appears (as in the attached image). Clicking on the cancel button does not make the installer reappear. This happens in the cases, where:

a) the installer starts automatically when there was no user interaction on boot (i.e. not using the boot menu). In this case the system remains in an unusable state, where only the desktop appears. This is also an issue when selecting "Install Ubuntu" from the boot menu.

b) the installer is started manually from the desktop icon, when having started the live system. This is also an issue when selecting "Try Ubuntu" from the installer.

  * Correctly feed the calculated keyboard layout back to the running
    component. This has the side benefit of the calculated layout
    getting selected in the treeviews (LP: #521831).
  * Don't try to import the GTK LabelledEntry widget in the KDE frontend
    (LP: #546792).
  * Disable the context menu in the slideshow frame. Thanks Dylan
    McCall!
  * Make sure the user we're not processing events before we've set up
    the language list in the KDE frontend (LP 528678).
  * Don't try to translate the greeter with the C locale.
  * Don't destroy the main window when the close button is pressed
    (LP: #543775).
  * Properly handle exceptions around opening the release_notes_url file
    in the KDE frontend (LP: #540266). Hide the label if the release notes
    do not exist.
  * Handle window manager buttons properly in greeter mode
    (LP 539827).
  * Update DebconfInstallProgress for changes to python-apt
    (LP: #546889).
  * Make labels unselectable now that we're in beta, per foundations-
    lucid-installer-design-improvements.
  * Make the quit warning dialog transient for the main window (modal).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: console-setup
    1.34ubuntu13, grub-installer 1.49ubuntu9, partman-base 139ubuntu2.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Depend on uboot-mkimage and redboot-tools on armel, and ensure that the
    appropriate one for the subarchitecture is kept installed, so that
    flash-kernel can work properly without network access (LP: #537007).
