Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
The "Sessions Preferences" dialog is missing from the
System->Preferences menu.
NOTE: The Sessions Preferences dialog is documented under System->Help and
Support. I can't tell you how to directly bring up that documentation (the
Search feature produces generally unhelpful results...)
But the following sequence finds the documentation on my system:
System->Help and Support
Click "Customizing Your Computer" in the Topics column on the left.
Click "4. Customising other aspects of the desktop"
Click "Configuring Your Desktop" in topic list on the right
Click "8.5.2 Sessions Preferences"
Control-F and search for "confirmation dialog" on the page
There is no "Sessions" dialog under System->Preferences.
There is a preferences dialog called "Startup Applications" but it does not
contain
the "Session Options" listed in table 8-17 except for "Automatically save
changes".
Note: In ubuntu 9.04 you could disable logout confirmation (and the time
delay) in a Preferenced panel reached by right-clicking the
logout/reboot thingie on the right end of the panel. But in 9.10 there
is no Preferences offered there.
SUMMARY: No way to control logout confirmation or delays!
