--- Comment #11 from leftcrane <leftcr...@tutanota.com> ---
Can the decision of whether to cancel the logout be at least given to the user?

Here's a sensible dialog for this situation, and that's how OTHER platforms
handle it:

> "App so and so is preventing logout, What do you want to do? 

> [Retry - (timer)] [Abort logout]

That will fix the problem in a safe way. Allowing programs to "cancel" logout
at will is actually the most dangerous approach in practice, because it
encourages technically illiterate or frustrated users to solve the problem with
a hard shutdown. If the software won't comply, they power button will, so
that's what the user will do.

I'd appreciate if this bug were reopened. Allowing random apps to cancel logout
is unheard of on other platforms, and for good reason. It would be a considered
a major bug on Windows.
