That will never work, of course - either the WM will send a SIGKILL quickly (in 1-2 seconds), or the entire X will terminate, killing Geany. BTW, I'm happy to inform all Xfce users here that it's session management was fixed and pushed to git, so we may expect it with the next xfce-session versions. Using the "Action Buttons" plugin with Shutdown or Restart will still not work, but that's a different bug. Or maybe a feature, because the session settings specifically include the text "... on logout". > For SIGINT, if it's handled, it'll ask if you want to save unsaved > documents before closing when Ctrl+C is used from the terminal.

My whole X terminates if I run it from a virtual console and press Ctrl+C, so why should Geany handle the signal? Is this a normal practice for the GUI programs under X than I'm not aware of? And of course, the portability of signal(2) is so bad that only SIG_DFL and SIG_IGN can be trusted. -- E-gards: Jimmy _______________________________________________ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
