Hello there,

I'd like to ask those of you who are using Gnome 2.10 a favor.

See, we have been distributing gnome-session along with a rather ugly
hack that tries to hide the log-out menu by default, since the "Restart"
and "Shut down" options weren't working at all [1].

Fortunately, the upstream developers implemented a saner logic behind
that log-out menu and now gnome-session (since version 2.9.4) relies on
GDM to call the restart and shut-down actions.

If you are currently using gnome-session-2.10, please verify if the
"Shut down" and "Restart the computer" actions from Desktop->Logout are
working correctly. That's all. First, make sure that gnome-session
actually shows you those options by going to
Desktop->Preferences->Sessions and activating "Ask on logout".

Hopefully, if everything goes well, we'll finally be able to drop our
embarrassing hack. Thank you for your time and help :).

Leonardo Boshell
