2009-03-28 07:05:23 Mark Shuttleworth description Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet I am using Ubuntu Jaunty, and FUSA seems to have a new feature where, after clicking "Log out" or a similar option, you get a message box very much like the GKSU dialogue, informing you that the session will close in a minute unless you press cancel. Though pleasing and informative, I think in order to improve visual integration it should use the same "darken screen" effect that GKSU uses. The confirmation dialogs on their own do not stand out from the crowd on the desktop. Also, because they are timed, it is easy to leave them there while thinking about something else, and one gets an "eek!" experience when the time runs out unexpectedly. So, please fade the background (everything behind the confirmation dialog) between seconds 40 and 50, so that it is start black for the last 10 seconds with just the confirmation dialog visible. Moving the mouse alone should not pause the fade or the clock, clicking Cancel should simply restore the brightness to the screen (smoothly, over about 300ms), dismiss the dialog and abort the logout / shutdown / restart.
