I don't think that its easy to select shutdown by an accident because there are two clicks necessary to do that.
An other thing is a shutdown by using the (hardware) power-button. Here i could imagine to press this button by an accident. But in this case the countdown isn't started (here on an Dell Inspirion 1720 - maybe this is a real bug?) and the computer goes down immediately (if there is no program runing which prevent the shutdown). If I see that rightly than running programs get informed from the system before it goes down and the programs have the option to prevent the shutdown. I think the useabillity would be better when the countdown comes only if theres a program which tells the system that there are any files or what ever not saved. I see no advantage for me when im sitting in front of the desktop, there are no programs running, I make my to clicks for shutdown and the system wants a verification for the shutdown from me. -- Jaunty thinks I'm stupid and let me wait 60 seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364858 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
