The whole argument for not having Power Off as a visible option in the menu seems to boil down to cultural convention. And I hope everyone here understands that people do things in different ways in different cultures. Sometimes people even do things differently than the local convention. You

The only real cultural mismatch I think exists here is what the right response is to do if the user gets confused by a menu that says: Suspend Hibernate Power Off Restart Is the right thing to do to provide training for the user, or is the right thing to do to improve the user interface?

Please feel free to crunch the numbers, because I've got not idea, what you are talking of. Also a computer takes 10 seconds to power off, how is that a lot of time ? And of course it is not reasonable at all to suspend when back in a bit means tomorrow. That is a waste of energy and

Hi, I wanted to say that I really love GNOME 3, nice work all. :) One thing I'm missing is a way to get windows out of the way when I don't want to work with them. For instance, I keep Evolution running 100% of the time but only check it every now and then. Same with Banshee, it's always

My bad, but the fact remains that minimizing a window will change nothing in overview. My point was more that you have to reconsider your workflow instead of trying to retrieve a feature that's becoming less useful. On Fri, 2011-05-27 at 20:19 -0700, Adam Williamson wrote: On Fri, 2011-05-27 at
