Bug Description
When I use the indicator-
Wouldn't it be cleaner to send a SIGTERM to running processes to give them a chance to exit gracefully? If after a short period they're still running, then a SIGKILL can be sent.
I realise this can be solved by manually closing each open application. Do I have to shut them all down manually to get clean exits from them?
I'm using Karmic Koala.
I think I noticed this while testing lucid.
I also noticed in lucid that the shutdown sound gets interrupted, which might be due to this issue.
I will check again if this was the case.
