You just proved that I do not know the details of session management ;) My point is: On logout, close all other apps first (by whatever appropriate means), then close all nautilus windows (the last remaining windows), which will eventually clear the desktop, and finally close metacity and gnome-panel (by whatever appropriate means). I believe this logout behaviour would be the smoothest on user's eyes, from a visual point of view. I have OSX in my mind, which closes all windows and finally slides the panel gracefully off the screen. -- Christian Kirbach [EMAIL PROTECTED] +49 176 23861781 _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
