Upstream comment: "This is open for debate. The purpose of the "F10 menu" is to provide a list of features available to the user. It is present because some gdmgreeter themes do not have buttons to support features that may be turned on in the configuration file. In other words if "reboot" is turned on in GDM configuration, but the theme has no "Reboot" button, then there is no way to reboot without hitting F10 (or changing the theme to one that supports everything you might want to use).
So, to support such themes that might be missing useful buttons, this is useful. Any ideas of how to better communicate this functionality to the user would be appreciated. Also, if the best approach is to use a tooltip on the entry field, should the wording be improved? As you point out the words "questions" and "menu" are probably poor word choices." maybe you could comment on the upstream bug? -- "Username" field contains nonsensical tooltip https://launchpad.net/bugs/70786 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
