GNOME. But our "immediately shutdown" button doesn't properly close the desktop session (instead it stops the GDM service, mainly for speed and simplicity's sake). > KeePassX doesn't setup any signal handlers so sending SIGINT or SIGTERM > will just kill it.

Good to know. So I see 3 options: a) KeePassX upstream adds a handler for SIGTERM, so that every standard way of closing the application work as reliably as the already supported ones. b) We modify Tails to close the GNOME session with standard X session manager mechanisms. c) We modify Tails to send the relevant X session manager request to KeePassX upon shutdown. I suspect that (a) would be pretty simple to implement for anyone who's at ease with C++, and would benefit more users than (b) and (c). Now, nobody is interested in implementing (a), then we'll have to go the (b) or (c) way, and this bug could be tagged wontfix or downgraded to wishlist. Cheers, -- intrigeri
