Aside from the fact that gnome-power-manager is already duplicating functionality, too (suspend/resume), what is actually so bad about this? > What do you suggest we can do to shift the standard behavior for > folks who are used to the old way of doing it? Hm, I'm afraid I have no quick idea. I guess it would be hard for me to argue :-), since I like the system menu entries (and I never use anything else, since I never got the logout or fusa applets). Maybe Matthew can help here? My concern is that for upgraders this would be pretty unexpected. They have always had these two menu options, and now suddenly they wouldn't any more. It is not at all obvious that you can use fusa to shutdown your machine or put it to hibernation (since these kinds of actions are totally unrelated to switching users). It is also a documentation issue. As long as we don't move everyone to a forced fusa, we would end up with some inconsistency, where we had to say "if you have fusa, use this to shutdown; if you don't, use that".
