I suppose that this is unintentional, for 2 reasons: * The reboot/poweroff menu is one of the most important ones. * The 2.0.3 display looks ugly. I wonder whether it has been tested with the default configuration. Related to that, there's the upstream bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/1416924 It is rather old, but it seems that Debian skipped some versions. It is said: Overview of changes in lightdm-gtk-greeter 1.8.6: - Panel layout now fully customizable * Required configuration changes: - host and clock labels are indicators now, new default panel layout: indicators=~host;~spacer;~clock;~spacer;~session;~language;~a11y;~power And 1.8.6 has never been in Debian, where one has 1.8.5-2 followed by 2.0.0-1. Perhaps 1.8.6 has come later and its features merged in 2.0.3. At <https://launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter/2.0>, 2.0.3 is described as "Bugfix and translations release". This is clearly not the case. [...] > This at least restores the reboot/poweroff function.

In 1.8.6, ~a11y was apparently still available as mentioned above. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
