Here's another possible workaround than the one proposed in comment #17 by fabounet which may be somewhat less "hacky".
Hold down the Super and Alt keys, right click on the Gnome panel, and click on "Add to Panel..." in the menu that pops up. In the drop-down list that appears, look for the "User Menu", described as "Menu to change your settings and online status", select it, and click "Add". This will add a user menu to your panel. It shows as an item displaying your name with a speech bubble beside it. The nifty thing is that this item also got entries for Switch user/Log out/Power off. And these work, as opposed to the entries of the "default" item that shows as a "power icon" (the one that looks remotely like a gear-wheel). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Cairo- Dock Devs, which is subscribed to Cairo-Dock Core. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242112 Title: Upgrade to Saucy Salamander (13.10) Causes shutdown/restart dialogue to not work Status in Cairo-Dock : Core: Invalid Status in Unity: New Bug description: Using latest stable release (3.3.1). Just upgraded to Saucy Salamander in Ubuntu. When cairo dock is set to automatically run at boot up the options to shutdown/restart do not work from the top menu panel next to the clock. When run manually after boot the shutdown/restart works fine. The shutdown/restart options do work fine from cairo dock/terminal but just mess up the shutdown/restart from the top menu panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-core/+bug/1242112/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
