Hi,
How can I cleanly exit the wm (xfce4) and poweroff/reboot machine?
I would like to cleanly exit the wm and then proceed with service stop and poweroff/reboot... Right now I'm just running poweroff as root from the X session and it is not what I would like...
I know what you are talking about. I used xfce4 for a long time and it was a gripe of mine as well. You can quit the WM to either a desktop manager or to the console but then you have to use either bash or the desktop manager (gdm, kdm, xdm) to actually shut down. I griped to the xfce4 list about this almost a year ago and the only thing they offered was a tk program that basically ran 'shutdown -h now' or 'reboot'. Not really their fault as they have a WM that suits them but I found it annoying. Sorry this is probably not the answer you wanted.
well at least I know that there is not more advanced solution than this. I've been running it for quite some time and thought that mybe there could be something more elegant than this - looks like not.
On the other hand, it is quite swell to be able to 'shutdown now' not caring about the open programs nor system consistency :)
I'll try the question on xfce4 mailing list...
regards, hk
