power off dialog pops up instantly in window mode

[kevin gunn]

happens on n7 and n4, ubuntu and ubuntu-pd

steps, connect mouse, go into window mode
strike power button to blank screen
result you'll see the power off dialog come up immediately (before even blanking)
expected - screen blank and unblank as normal with no display of the power off dialog

I believe the problem is mixing windowed mode with multiple screens available. OTOH this was an on-purpose implementation for the desktop use case. I think we're missing some design input on what should happen in such scenarios.

[Michael Zanetti (mzanetti)]

This seems to be a case for the DeviceConfiguration. While I agree that what Kevin describes is the expected thing on a pocket desktop, what the current implementation does is the expected thing on a regular PC. You want to see the Power menu when pressing the power menu there.

Casing the decision based on the known phone/tablet models from DeviceConfiguration should do, at least until design comes up with something better.

@mzanetti yes from reading the above, in this case I think it makes sense to have a different policies for PocketPC and Desktop.

so there is discussion about while in windowed mode to not blank the screen && display the power off dialog - which is understandable.
however, I am seeing that when returning the phone to "mobile mode" the power off dialog is still immediately displaying.
