Hi Lucas, Really like your new dbus interfaces, especially differentiate logout and shutdown. ;-)
Is it possible to add a extra task to improve logout dialog GUI? The current dialog in new-gnome-session is exactly the same as gnome-panel. Can we do as Ubuntu's own dialog, such as change button layout, show button bigger and more striking, add icon and tooltip text for each button? If it makes sense, I would like try.
