I have Ubuntu installed on a Home Theater PC (HTPC) / home file server but frequently have the video switched to a different component. I do not have a keyboard nearby at the time. I turn off the HTPC by pushing the power button on the front of the computer. This triggers the 60 second delay

I agree with those that say it is a useful feature that got removed. I agree with those that say that the USER should be the one deciding how his user interface works. Telling me what my user interface should like like is why I switched from windows. Please don't start doing that in Gnome or

I think I've already refuted that argument, Chris. Sometimes it's not possible to click the button, and you shouldn't have to click the button if you don't want to. And yes, since the 60 seconds is hardcoded into the application, someone IS forcing 60 seconds on everybody. -- Gnome shutdown

I wanted to set the timeout to 10 seconds today. It's a shame that it cannot be adjusted. I don't have any issues like the ones Textureglitch has I just think that in a minute I can read the contents of the popup at least 6 times. In addition to that if I call `gnome-session-save

If you're referring to the confirmation dialog for the indicator-session applet, then that's a separate issue unrelated to the gnome-session dialog (and I think that's already reported). The timeout on the gnome-session dialog will not be changed. The gnome- session dialog is not a confirmation

I'm referring to the dialog that says 'system will shutdown in 60 seconds', which appears after you've pressed the gnome button to do so, or pressed the powerbutton. This dialog is unnecessary for me, and I just want to be able to make it less than 60 seconds. The dialog in question does not

Well, that's nothing to do with gnome-session. And what benefit would you get by changing the timeout to say, 15 seconds for example anyway? How would that be better/easier for you? -- Gnome shutdown dialog timeout cannot be adjusted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398687 You received this bug

I was going to set it to 0 seconds, actually. There's just no reason for me to have the confirmation box at all. I'm used to hitting shutdown and then walking away from the computer and let it do its thing. It's also annoying on my laptops because I hit shutdown and then close the lid before the
