What if i use fluxbox and don't have the presence plasmoid?

On close show a message stating "You are simply closing the application. Your accounts will remain ONLINE". On quit show : "Quitting the application will disconnect any connected accounts you have. Are you sure?" Naturally all this once (the user will have a "don't show this again" option) > Just my 2 cents ;) > > Regards > Rohan Garg > > > On Sat, Jun 18, 2011 at 2:58 AM, David Edmundson > <[email protected] > > > wrote: > > > > On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 10:23 PM, Francesco Nwokeka > > > > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Wednesday 27 April 2011 17:33:27 Dario Freddi wrote: > > >> On Wednesday 27 April 2011 16:24:46 George Goldberg wrote: > > >> > That bug report has a description of what is needed to solve this > > >> > problem properly.
