I think it should play a jingle with the system beep, to satisfy bug #77010 :P Otherwise, the issue here is that the shutdown sound can be customized. Sure, the default may be nice and short, but what happens if the user sets their own custom sound and finds that it only plays for about half a

I, and most people here, understand it is a design decision. That doesn't make this less of a bug. It's a short-sighted design decision which, while sensible for some use cases, absolutely decimates others. I won't go into the usability of FUSA itself, but suffice it to say it has nothing on the

I agree, it would be good to have the libnotify popup absolutely removed for eternity. I filed a bug report for that. It's a slightly different request (a new feature, not so modest a change), but it would permanently fix this so it makes some sense to tie it to this one. I think we should avoid

This second patch needs custom strings, documentation, translation work and the like. With some work it could behave quite smoothly. In this case, actions are simply stripped from the notifications so we still get notification bubbles, but to deactivate (or activate) the functionality the user
