I'm not sure there's an obvious "best" choice here - some users, like myself, shut down more often than they logout and back in (to what is basically a single-user machine). So I don't think we should change the order without considering the fact that users may have acclimated to one or the other already. > Paolo Borelli wrote: > > - the timeout of death :).

Also, it's an accessibility violation to have anything involving user-response that's timeout-based (unless the timeout is configurable). This adds an additional (necessary) complication to auto-dismiss dialogs and the like, which may swing the cost/benefit balance away from their favor. regards, Bill _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
