Question:
- does the average user *EVER* upgrade xorg or glibc?
- which distribution targeting average users gives you rolling upgrades that could possibly contains xorg and glibc?
- how many average users have stuff running in tty's? ;-)
I think you're raising valid questions here, and it would be great if the system can deal with this. (e.g. warn you're still upgrading your system, and therefore you should not shut down).
Currently I'd like to have this feature implemented rather now then later because I can't trust my PC to shutdown properly. I'm a bit concerned we're getting off topic here and thereby preventing the whole feature to become implemented.
All I'm asking for, is showing the "you still have x sessions open" dialog earlier before logging off. Can this be implemented?
Would it be possible to postpone the discussion about "nice/not nice to have a timer" to a second iteration of this feature?
