Comment 16 for bug 550824

Let's really try to put this to rest:

from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut a paper cut is defined as:

"a trivially fixable usability bug that the average user would encounter in a default application of Ubuntu or Kubuntu OR in any of the featured applications."

Just cause you add lines of code, which according to GGBerry already exists, doesn't mean you add a "Feature." The argument is whether this is a new feature itself, or whether it is missing functionality of an already present feature. Well let me just share the fact that when I first came across the MeMenu, I clicked to log on as is intended, but then immediately clicked to log off just to find that it did not work. This expectation was intuitive to me as I'm sure it was to many others. Name me another feature in the entirety of the Ubuntu menu system (me menu, applets, indicators) where you have to go to SOMEWHERE ELSE to undo something you just did. That to me is broken functionality.

Let's review again:
If you prefer a more detailed, itemized definition, a paper cut is:

    " A bug, or an unintended problem occurring within an existing piece of software"

      DEFINITE unintended problem. I'm sure more people expected the me menu to function this way then did not.

    " the presence of which makes a computer more difficult or less pleasant to use"

      logging on is 2 clicks. Logging off is ~4 or more depending on how you do it. These two functions are a sibling pair and should be comparable in all respects (where one looks for it and how many clicks it takes to get to it). The result is that I just no longer use the me menu for anything.

    " that is easy to fix"

      code already supposedly exists and while I'm not capable of coding the solution myself, I'm confident that it is no more then a few lines of code to enable this missing functionality

    " that the average user would encounter"

      me menu to ubuntu is akin to a door handle to a car, it's hard to avoid (not to mention, this was a huge selling point when it came out)

    "in a default application of the Ubuntu or Kubuntu release currently under development OR in any of the featured applications"

      as default as it gets
