Some reasons why replacing gnome-sys-suspend.
???In JDS, there's 4 ???scenarios that requires user to confirm with logout
or shutdown action.
- Clicking buttons in launch menu of gnome-panel
- Response to user pressing machine power button
- Response to user pressing suspend key from keyboard
- Sending XSMP saveyourself request to gnome-session.
e.g. $gnome-session-save --kill
Currently, they're dealt with 3 different dialogs from gnome-panel,
gnome-sys-suspend and gnome-session. It's really bad for both user
experience and authorization checking.
Also, below RFEs require an enhanced dialog.
- CR #6378018 gnome-sys-suspend should offer "logout" and "reboot"
choices as well
- CR #6378021 gnome-sys-suspend should not offer "Suspend" if system
doesn't support it
- CR #6621991 No restart option seen in GUI
- CR #6554809 Shutdown option should not appear on non-root Sun Ray
desktops
- CR #6409782 gnome-sys-suspend should use PAM for fallback
authentication
