fast-user-switch-applet: statusexplanation |
|
With the old gnome-session dialog, clicking on the icon in the panel made the session dialog appear, and then clicking 'Log Out' or 'Shut Down' immediately performed the action with no further confirmation. However, it could be argued that the session dialog itself was confirmation, and the user always had to click twice in order to end their session (once on the icon in the panel, and then once more to perform the desired action). With the old session dialog, it was quite difficult to accidentally choose the wrong option (IMO).
With the fast-user-switch-applet, the situation is not that dissimilar. The user clicks once on the applet (which raises the menu), and then once more to select their desired action. However, the fast-user-switch-applet menu mixes session management, user switching and instant-messaging status functionality all in the same menu. As the menu items are much closer together than the session dialog, it is very easy to select the wrong option (I have done this several times now since upgrading to Intrepid). I think that the lack of visual icons for session management actions also makes it easier to select the wrong option.
So, I agree that this is a bug (and not Wishlist). |

Re-prioritizing as FUSA should now be the only exit path for Jaunty.
Not sure exactly how to interpret https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/ExitStrategy#Quit However, the absence of a confirmation dialog is now considered a bug.
As the spec is still in flux, I recommend connecting the existing menu entries to the standard Gnome exit path, to start from a safe base.
Ted: please advise if there are entries that do not match a standard/accessible entry point. Please also raise the bug importance to HIGH and target Jaunty (i don't have the required access to do it). Thanks.
