Shutdown/reboot options not disabled when not under gdm

[Trent Lloyd]

In the normal gnome logout dialog, IIRC (I'm pretty sure..) it disables the reboot/shutdown option if its not running under gdm (as it relies on that to do the reboot/shutdown part)

In my case, starting GNOME from KDM, i try shutdown/reboot and it just ends up logging out, which is a little confusing :)

Thanks for your bug. What version of the distribution do you use? Do you use the panel menu or a panel applet to get the session dialog?

I'm running latest dapper and using the panel (System->Shutdown)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you still have that issue? There is no such menu item on my dapper installation if I run GNOME with startx instead of GDM

This is now fixed, shutdown disappears.

However "switch user" still appears in the log out menu, though it does give you a message "It appears you are not logged in on the console - this only works if you are logged in on the console" which is somewhat confusing although much better than before.

Right, closing that one as fixed. The switch user option is an another issue and will be worked
