The restart dialog invokes "Stop" interface provided by Consolekit to do the reboot which should be "init 6". > > I think reading the config/fastreboot_default is a good thing to display > in the restart dialog what the default is. However I don't like that > fact that selecting this once in the dialog changes the system wide default. In the original design, the dialog did not change the system wide default. A temporary property is created and it should only affect the reboot once. But we encountered an authentication problem when designing the underlying API because GUI (gnome-panel) does not have the proper privilege to create the temporary property. So we choose to make the dialog change the system wide default. Sherry Moore who is responsible for the underlying implement of fast reboot should know this better than me.
